The Enneagram in Love and Work: Understanding Your Intimate and Business Relationships

About this book

Discover how the nine Enneagram personality types interact, communicate, and handle conflict in intimate partnerships and on the job. New from Helen Palmer, a "leading teacher and practitioner of the Enneagram" (San Francisco Chronicle), the first Enneagram book to give practical advice, in fascinating detail, on how to have the best possible relationships in love and business. Palmer draws on twenty years of research to show how each personality type directs attention, manages stress, and handles responsibilities. The volume outlines the worldview of each type, from the perfectionism of Ones to the peace-seeking habits of Nines. A comprehensive directory explores pairings across types, analyzing the communication habits and leadership styles that emerge between partners. Each profile offers practical guidance to resolve friction and foster mutual understanding. Interpersonal Relationships: Examines how each of the nine personality types habitually organizes attention, revealing the underlying motivations that drive behavior in both intimate and work settings. Conflict Resolution: Charts how each personality type reacts under pressure or relaxation, showing how individuals shift along the Enneagram arrows during moments of crisis. Professional Relationships: Explores manager-employee dynamics across different types, offering insights into leadership tendencies, delegation challenges, and team building. Personal Development: Unpacks how core passions manifest across self-preservation, social, and sexual instincts, providing a clear framework for self-observation and growth.
