Getting Your Boss's Number: And Many Other Ways to Use the Enneagram at Work
by Michael J. Goldberg
Business consultant Goldberg grounds the Enneagram in the
real world with an approach that has worked for organizations as varied
as the CIA, law firms, advertising agencies, and nonprofit agencies. You'll
recognize the Enneagram styles of your boss and co-workers and learn how
organizations are unconsciously governed by personality styles.
Practical, easy, and smart, this dynamic new approach will help you create
positive business relationships and increase your power and success in the
workplace. This book is extremely down-to-earth and very well-written -
a sleeper.
"Getting Your Boss's Number details how to improve managerial
and peer relations skills as well as inter-office dynamics. Based on nine
personality styles, each with different values, goals and skills, the book
explains the intentions, behaviors, strengths and limitations of different
individuals' world views. It also describes a method for understanding one's
own personality and then learning to consider other people's points of view.
The result is improved communication and understanding among coworkers."
-Human Resource Executive Magazine
"This provides an unusual perspective which goes beyond the usual psychological
analysis: using the enneagram to help type and handle a business environment.
The Enneagram defines nine world views and their traits: Goldberg explains
how business relations are affected by an understanding of these world view
components."
