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:

“KEEP DOING WHAT YOU BEEN DOING, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GET WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING.”

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.

Leadership And Management Training Programs In Government   
Bryce Smith

One of the errors made by many people is to think that management leadership training and all the different styles of leadership can just be transferred anywhere, and will be equally applicable in every situation. But approaches designed for a corporation in a very competitive business setting simply may not apply in the setting of government departments.

Contrary to popular belief, the purposes and function of a government are not the same as a business. So it stands to reason that leadership skill training for government work may need to be somewhat different.

That's where the Leadership Development and Training program of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) comes into the picture. Their leadership development programs very consciously recognize that government leadership is significantly different from corporate leadership, and it tries to tailor its programs to address those differences. Seminars are taken throughout an individual's entire career, from pre-supervisory right through preparation to become a senior executive.


Apart from the CLC, there are also leadership training programs available in what the OPM calls the Special Skills courses. These address problems a government agency might encounter that are chronic, such as team member disputes or difficulties keeping up with or adjusting to new technologies. If a team leader needs to learn the agility and grace that allows disputes to be resolved or adjustments to be made in how the agency runs, then this sort of management leadership training provides valuable instruction.

In addition to the management leadership training the OPM offers through its series of seminars and courses, it provides more extensive leadership training programs as well for those who want to take that route. It has set up a relationship between its own Management Development Centers and the University of Colorado and the American University in Washington, DC, which allows aspiring government leaders to acquire advanced degrees. Between a program like this and the courses and seminars taught elsewhere, the OPM hopes to produce the best and the brightest future leaders of government.


The leaders in major government agencies face very different demands than leaders in corporations existing in the highly competitive business world. So management leadership training for government leaders, while there will be some overlap with corporate approaches, needs to concentrate on the leadership skills needed explicitly in a government situation.

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.
