190. Leadership Team Chemistry: Type 1, 2, & 8 with 3D Dentists and Raleigh Dental Arts Group

In this extra-special episode of Enneagram at Work, I’m joined by not one, but three guests from the leadership team at 3D Dentists:

• T-Bone (Type 8) – Owner of 3D Dentists and practicing dentist at Raleigh Dental Arts
• Meredith (Type 2/3) – Business Director at 3D Dentists
• Megan (Type 1/8) – Dental Hygienist and Operations Director at Raleigh Dental Arts

I first met this crew at their high-energy 3D Dentists Summit in Nashville, and I knew they'd bring the fun and real-world insights. This conversation is part workplace case study, part leadership roundtable, and part “real talk” about working closely with very different personalities.

We dig into:

• How their Enneagram types shape their leadership styles, communication, and decision-making
• The pet peeves that can cause tension, and how they work through them
• Why trust, directness, and humor keep their team strong (even when they clash)
• Lessons they’ve learned about delegating, giving feedback, and balancing two intertwined businesses
• How understanding type dynamics has changed the way they work with each other and their broader teams

Whether you’re leading a practice, managing a department, or trying to navigate strong personalities on your team, you’ll walk away with practical takeaways for building trust, reducing friction, and creating your own version of a “dream team.”
