Awareness to Action: The Enneagram, Emotional Intelligence, and Change
by Robert Tallon & Mario Sikora

This book has the best presentation about the business use of the Enneagram. It is very pragmatic and "business friendly".

While the needs of a business audience have shaped the model of the Enneagram presented, It is considered as a model for pragmatists--people who are seeking growth but uninterested in the mystical, psychospiritual elements so often associated with the Enneagram...... "Business audiences are not soft audiences, however.

These audiences tend to be challenging and skeptical .... They sniff out inaccuracy, inconsistency, and fuzziness and will either tune you out ... or they will turn on you like sharks that sniff blood. If you can spend a day teaching the Enneagram to a group of 30 engineers or lawyers and survive, your model is solid

To print a copy of an Free Enneagram ebook

The study of the Nine Temperaments is called the Enneagram and is described in the free ebook listed above. The Enneagram types (Temperaments) are not made up of lists of character traits, but are founded in a person's core values. Each Temperament represents what that person considers something very important to their life such as power, security, harmony, knowledge, fulfillment, i.e.

Your Temperament enables you to make a valuable contributions to your life; but it also causes you to neglect other values, creating a psychological ‘blind spot” for you.

This is why, if you:

The Orange Trangle in the above image points to the RESPONDIVE TEMPERAMENTS which move toward thinking. They are:

Temperament 1 – The members of this Temperament are moving toward right thinking. Correct behavior is a result of knowing what is right and what is wrong. This knowing is obvious to the member, yet not obvious to others. From the member's perspective it's not the member who is determining what is right, it's simply an absolute unquestioned obvious about what is right. Doing is preferred to thinking. We call members of this Temperament - Reformer – Perfectionists. Temperament One examples are: Hillary Clinton, Tom Brokaw, Martha Stewart, Al Gore, and Tony Randall. These people want to be good. They have high ideals and value and are attracted to situations where those ideals are met. They want to realize all their potential and help others actualize theirs. They envision making the world a better place to live.

Temperament 2 – The members of this Temperament are moving toward the thinking of others. Anticipating the needs of others can arise from knowing what others are thinking. There's a habit of assuming the image or emotions that will please others. To this member, this doesn't seem like manipulation, it's simply finding the right approach to make that emotional connection that seems so vital. Feeling is preferred to thinking. We call members of this Temperament - Giver – Helpers. Temperament Two examples are: Bill Cosby, Alan Alda, Nancy Reagan, Dolly Parton, and Pat Boone. These people want to know they are loving. They want to nurture others and foster relationships. They value and are attracted to love. They envision making the world a more loving place to live.

Temperament 6 – The members of this Temperament are moving toward the thinking of an authority. This member questions their own thinking and the thinking of others. The quest is for a trusting source of reason and rules. If the member can find a reliable and trusted source of thinking then the questioning, doubt, and resulting anxiety may fade. Trusting is preferred to thinking (to say it another way, the preference is to trust the thinking of an authority, but the difficulty lies in finding a trustworthy authority). We call members of this Temperament - Loyal – Skeptics. Temperament Six examples are: Helen Palmer, Michael Moore, Tom Hanks, Rush Limbaugh, Richard Nixon, and Mel Gibson. These people want to make the world a safer, more secure, more reliable, more trustworthy place to live and they will question anyone’s authority in their effort to do so. They value loyalty in themselves and others and stand by their commitments.

It's EQ, Not IQ, That Will Make You More   
Joe Bingham

So much credit is given to those that are smart or have an intelligence for success. But what if I told you it was EQ, not IQ, that led to that success?
Years ago, I read a biography on Nikola Tesla. While I found many aspects of this great inventor's life intriguing, the one thing that really made an impression on me was not his many inventions, not his significant contributions to science, and not even his incredible intelligence.

It was the fact that he died a very poor man.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's unfair, really, that such a great man never enjoyed financial stability, but according to the biography I read it was his own fault.

While Tesla's main focus was always on discovery, he often neglected to ensure he would gain financially from his inventions.

Test. It's a four-letter word that can strike fear in some students. In New York, it's also a word that can cause consternation for the test givers teachers and administrators.
Gentle Soul Doing Better
Last month, the News published a story about a gentle-hearted homeless man in need of healthcare assistance, and the anonymous care-givers who asked readers for help finding the mans family.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, that may sound noble, to give and not worry about receiving, but in later life Nikola Tesla was often halted from continuing the research he loved by lack of funds.

Had he merely secured patents and royalties on each of his inventions as he went along, instead of selling them for smaller one time sums or allowing others to take them, he would never have run out of money.

While Nikola Tesla was arguably one of the most intelligent individuals ever to have lived in terms of IQ, it was his EQ that routinely stopped him from achieving his goals.

WHAT IS EQ?

EQ is emotional intelligence. Now before you think this is going to be just another discussion on the basics of self motivation or building your self esteem, I want you to realize something.

Your emotional intelligence or EQ can have a greater impact on your life or business success than your IQ ever will.

There are real world, specific, business functions that require the use of emotional intelligence, AND they can have a large impact on your profits.

Emotional intelligence begins with you and stems out to others you are involved with. It requires understanding, self-control, responsibility, and optimism, but some of it's rewards are the increased ability to influence, communicate with, and inspire others.

Perhaps now you can see how your EQ directly influences your bottom line.

BASIC ASPECTS OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

There are both personal and social competencies involved with emotional intelligence.

Self awareness, self regulation, and motivation make up the major aspects of personal EQ, while empathy and other social skills make up the social element.

However, it's more important at this point to understand what developing your emotional intelligence can do for you and your business than to breakdown the science of it.

WHAT A HIGHER EQ CAN DO FOR YOU

What are some of the common difficulties associated with running your business?

*getting the most out of the time you invest in it *constantly motivating yourself and others you work with *making sales

One aspect of emotional intelligence deals with identifying and building around your individual strengths, knowing your limits, and staying confident.

Does it make sense to work at a job you're not good at? Of course not, but how often are you stuck doing a task better left to another individual who is more capable?

Ever wonder how much further you could take your business if you could focus more of your time on the aspects of it you most enjoy and are the best at?

Would there be less difficulty in staying motivated if you could do this? What if you could do the same for others who work for you or are in your downline? Can you imagine the results?

What if you could relate better to your potential customers? Don't you think having a better understanding of their emotions and their needs would in turn increase your sales?

After all, isn't your business based on filling a need? And aren't sales accomplished by appealing to people's emotions and presenting them with the benefits they will receive?

YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR EQ

Fortunately, your EQ is something that can be improved. You CAN learn emotional intelligence. As with anything, it simply requires your attention and study.

This means that anyone can develop their EQ, and succeed with their desired goals, regardless of their IQ.

EQ is a greater factor in business and personal success than IQ ever will be.

The story of Nikola Tesla mentioned above is but one example. I'm sure we all know of others we don't consider to be all that smart that have achieved financial success, too. Ever wondered how they really did it? Was it just dumb luck? Or did they have EQ that made up for a lack of IQ?

Emotional Intelligence, while not discussed by many, has a direct impact on our personal, social, and business lives whether we embrace the concept or not. Emotions are part of us, and in fact are our only tools for understanding and relating to others.

Gaining a better understanding of and developing our EQ can only be beneficial to all of us.

Why do we use numbers?

Names such as: Twos, Giver, Caretaker, Helper, Nurturer, or Advisor, are commonly used to decribed the Temperaments Types. We use numbers instead of any names.

We use numbers to designate each of the Temperament Types because numbers are value neutral. They imply the whole range of attitudes and behaviors of each Temperament without specifying anything either positive or negative.

The numerical ranking of the Types is not significant. A larger number is no better than a smaller number.

No Temperament Type is inherently better or worse than any other. While all the Temperament Types have unique assets and liabilities, some Types are often more desirable than others in our society. You may not be happy with your particular Type. You may feel that your Type is “limited" in some way. As you learn more about all the Types, you will see that just as each has unique capacities, each has different “limits.”

People do not change from one basic Temperament Type to another. Some Types are more valued in our society than others; it is because of the qualities that society rewards, not because of any superior value of those Types.

The descriptions of the Temperament Types apply equally to males and females, since no Type is inherently masculine or feminine. Not everything in the description of your basic Type will apply to you all the time because you fluctuate constantly.
