The 9 Types of Leadership draws on the Enneagram, an amazingly
accurate descriptor of personality, to help people in the workplace
create more effective relationships, so they can be more productive and
happy at the office.
In the past few years, mindfulness and other approaches to
self-awareness have begun to transform the American workplace. But while
it is increasingly widely accepted in the business world that the most
direct route to success lies in adopting practices that actively promote
leaders' self-awareness, social skill, and "emotional intelligence," the
best and most efficient path to developing a more conscious workforce
often remains unclear.
The Enneagram provides this pathway to greater self-awareness and social
skillfulness. Like a GPS for social interactions, the Enneagram helps
you orient yourself when you get caught up in people problems you don't
know how to work your way out of.
By providing extremely detailed and accurate descriptions of nine
recognizable personalities, the Enneagram is an unmatched tool for
business people to use to decode the mysteries involved in understanding
why people do what they do, why we have conflicts with some people but
not others, and how we can become aware of our blind spots. Most
importantly, it can help leaders to know themselves in a deeper way so
they can more effectively lead others and more powerfully model
conscious behaviors for their direct reports.
