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

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.

Understanding Emotional Intelligence   
Jessica Leebelt

Emotional Intelligence refers to how effectively people interact with others, specifically in the workplace. It is important to understand your emotional competencies and learn how you can improve them, in order to be a successful business leader.

Your emotional intelligence (also known as EQ) is based on four areas as identified by EQ researcher and author Daniel Goleman:

Once you have an awareness of the EQ core areas, you can begin to analyze and understand how you interact with others and how those interactions can be improved. EQ involves being personally aware of your surroundings, learning styles, behavioral preferences and interactions. Everyone in your workplace has their own preferences when it comes to understanding and applying these four areas.

Luckily, for those who have a difficult time adapting, analyzing themselves or letting go of personal workplace preferences, EQ skills can be learned and retained for long periods of time. Working closely with business leaders and executives and coaching them about emotional intelligence is the key to gaining effective communication and fostering a successful work environment.

Being aware and understanding your EQ is known to directly impact both individual and organizational performance. Simply stated, once you learn how to communicate and work more effectively with others, you have more opportunities for success.

Improve Emotional Intelligence Leadership

Improving Emotional Intelligence leadership in the workplace takes two things; a leader with the desire to improve EQ and a systematic program to build these skills among leaders and staff. Once you have those things, your business will be on the path to improved communication and morale. With open lines of communication, clear expectations and fair conflict management, an organization is more efficient, productive and positive.

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.
