Book excerpt: Transform Your Team with the Enneagram shows you how to create great teams, whatever their size or industry, no matter if the team model is in-person, remote or a hybrid. Whether you are a team member, a team leader at any organizational level, a coach, trainer or consultant, an HR professional, or if you are simply intrigued by teams, learn how to align, attune and accelerate your team into high-performance. The guiding insights from the Enneagram show how each of the nine Enneagram types functions at each stage of team development and what people of each type can do to help, rather than hinder, progress to the next stage. Through a combination of principles from team dynamics, combined with insights from the Enneagram, you'll be amazed, just as I was, how potent using the two together are in creating high-performing teams. Derived from team dynamics, the core principle is that teams go through four predictable stages of team development. If teams address the issues that present themselves at each stage, they can transform from being potential teams to high-performing ones. Here are the key reasons why this is happening and why creating high-performing teams is more important than ever. · Globalization: requiring teams to work closer to their clients, geographically and culturally· Function-based teams and sub-teams: providing specific functional products and services· Cross-functional teams: requiring solutions to specific cross-functional issues· Project teams: being created for a specific amount of time to address particular issues· Problem-solving: especially for complex issues needing quick and flexible action· Accelerated workflow speed: requiring increased information sharing and coordination· Global competition: needing even more creativity, innovation and risk-takingThe Enneagram is an incredible asset to use in the workplace. In addition to transforming teams by building trust, decreasing stress and improving productivity, the Enneagram can also:· Develop conscious and highly-skilled leaders· Reduce miscommunication at all levels in the organization· Encourage innovation, creativity, and productive risk-taking· Help retain talented employees· Change organizational culture to be more collaborative· Improve customer relationships· Increase organizational sustainability
