Take Your Team to the Next Level with the Enneagram
Updated: Oct 15, 2020
If you are a supervisor or a human resources professional, perhaps you have considered personality tests as a means to help employees appreciate different working styles, resolve conflicts, improve communications, or even elevate performance outcomes.
By understanding different personality types, employees can understand characteristics, traits, and and motivations of difference types of people. In today's world, it has never been more important to bridge understanding, appreciate differences, and collaborate in a productive way.
Here are some tips in planning a workshop:
1. Think about what you are trying to accomplish.
Better Performance
Improved Morale
Higher Motivation
Conflict Resolution
Team-Building
Stronger Leadership
2. Choose an assessment or test to meet your goals.
The Myers-Briggs Indicator - This test will help determine preferences in perceptions and decision-making. It drills down into 16 personality types against 4 key categories: introversion or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, judging or perceiving.
The Enneagram - The Enneagram will help employees understand individual differences in approach, style, and motivations. The Enneagram Institute identifies 9 personality types as follows: The Reformer, The Helper, The Achiever, The Individualist, The Investigator, The Loyalist, The Enthusiast, The Challenger and the Peacemaker.
