The Road Back to You - Know Your Personality, Fix Your Weaknesses

The Enneagram is an ancient diagram with roots in Christianity. It can be used to gain greater self-knowledge, and also to understand the behavior of those around us. By identifying your own personality type within the Enneagram, and learning how your type responds to certain situations, you’ll be on the road to making better, more informed decisions in life.

What you can do:

Help your coworkers find joy in their work using the Enneagram.

The Enneagram has been used to help employees find career satisfaction in a wide range of workplaces, including Motorola, the Oakland A’s baseball team, the Vatican clergy and the CIA. So why not get your colleagues to identify their type? This will deepen their understanding of their personal work habits, and help them sort out which tasks they’ll naturally excel at. For instance, if someone’s a type Five Investigator, she’ll naturally excel at analytical tasks, whereas a type One Perfectionist will work best when focusing on a single project.
