Creating High Performance Teams
Working with others in a team setting is always more complex than working alone because teamwork involves a great deal of interpersonal interaction, communication, and coordination.
These factors can make being part of a team challenging and sometimes frustrating, but at the same time highly rewarding.
It can be said that there is almost nothing in a work setting that is as exasperating as being a member of a poorly performing team, nor as satisfying as being a part of a high performing team.
When a team is not functioning well or not performing to it’s potential, it often requires some outside assistance.
The Enneagram can be extraordinarily helpful in the creation and development of high-performing teams.
When all of the team’s members know their Enneagram styles, they can use this knowledge to improve their personal effectiveness as well as to adjust their interpersonal behaviors to the styles of the other team members.
Knowledge of the Enneagram also increases team members’ understanding of and compassion for each other.
Knowledge of the Enneagram can assist both team members and leaders in developing team goals and interdependencies, as well as in expanding the repertoire of team-based roles and behaviors over the stages of team development.
