With precision and clarity, they detail five distinct steps you must take to create a trust-based relationship. Each step—engage, listen, frame, envision, and commit—is richly described in distinct chapters.This book is “a brilliant reminder for each of us to focus on the needs of those we are serving—clients, customers, colleagues" (Timothy A. Welsh, vice chair, Consumer and Business Banking, US Bancorp). The authors weave together anecdotes, experience, and examples of both their own and others' successes and mistakes to great effect.

Transform Your Team with the...

Ginger Lapid-Bogda PhD

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.
There's almost nothing more exhilarating than being part of a high-performing team and little that is as distressing as being part of a dysfunctional one. That's why this book teaches you how to create vibrant, sustainable, high-performing teams. 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 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.
When you integrate the Enneagram into your teams, you'll end up spending less time and money dealing with conflict, you'll reduce your frustration with others, and you'll feel far more satisfied and capable at work than you ever thought possible.
