Last Monday, April 20th, the classroom at the Faculty of Business was fi lled with curiosity and a desire to learn during the workshop “New ways of being and leading: Enneagram applied to people management,” organized by the Talent Incubator at the University of Granada.
During the session, Enneagram expert José Antonio Bañón Lara introduced the attendees to this fascinating personality classification system. The goal was not only to learn about the nine “enneatypes,” but also to understand how this powerful tool can transform the way we relate to others, understand people, and, above all, lead teams in the future work environment.
If anything characterized the event, it was its 100% participatory approach. Far from sticking just to theory, Bañón Lara put the attendees to the test through several group dynamics designed to internalize and apply the newly learned concepts in a fun way.
To check if they had truly understood the different traits of each personality, the students participated in several identification “games”:
● The Musical Enneagram: One of the most talked-about dynamics involved listening to and analyzing different songs, debating which enneatype was hidden behind the lyrics and the attitude of each track.
● Analysis of Medical Profi les: In another practical case, attendees had to evaluate different “medical profiles,” studying their way of acting, communicating with patients, and solving problems to diagnose which Enneagram number corresponded to each professional.
The day concluded with an unbeatable atmosphere and a high level of participation. All attendees, who in addition to the experience received their corresponding certificate of attendance, left the classroom with a new perspective on self-awareness and empathy—fundamental soft skills that companies are highly seeking today.
At the Talent Incubator, we remain committed to offering educational experiences that make a difference. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this afternoon of discovery and leadership!
