Today we are welcoming David Fox to the show who is representing the "four" or the "individualistic" type in our enneagram series. David shares valuable insight not only to fours who are trying to navigate the workplace but also to leaders who want to engage with and champion the fours on their team. David explains why fours do not like to be typed, why emotions are important to them, and how creativity and solving hard problems motivates a four.
We also dig a little into the history of the enneagram and how we can use it as a tool to understand others and as David says, "Where their hurt lies". We wrap up the show with a powerful conversation about the roles of mentors in our lives and how in cross-generational relationships it is important to come to the table "with more questions than answers". Whether you are a four yourself or if you are seeking to better understand the fours in your life, this conversation with David will answer so many or your questions and help you better relate to (and value) the role of the four in the workplace and beyond.
