The 9 Ways of Working introduces the nine personality styles of the Enneagram, a classic, highly powerful approach to work and life. Each of the Enneagram's nine types has a distinct worldview which determines how they think, what they want, and why they act the way they do. You'll recognize the personality types of the people you work with---colleagues, clients, bosses---as well as your own. And you'll discover the most effective ways to work with these people:
- The Perfectionist gets things done right---regardless of the consequences.
- The Helper nurtures others' careers---and demands to be appreciated for it.
- The Producer works hard to succeed---but can burn out in overwork.
- The Connoisseur explores his or her creativity and deep feelings---but may get lost in them.
- The Sage craves data, theories and insight---but may forget the human element
- The Troubleshooter knows the secrets and who can be trusted---but can get mighty paranoid.
- The Visionary inspires with brilliant, fun, imaginative ideas---but leaves closure to others.
- The Top Dog exercises leadership---but may end up as a vengeful bully.
- The Mediator wants everybody working as a conflict-free team---but may forget his or her own goals.
