Nine Paths to a Productive and Fulfilling Life The Enneagram is a personality system with ancient roots, based on what we can observe about how people think, feel, and behave. The word Enneagram comes from the Greek. “Ennea” means nine and “gram” means something written or drawn. The Enneagram is a nine-pointed figure drawn to represent the nine types of people. As a result of our inherited nature and our childhood experiences, each of us develops a limited view of the world to help us survive an cope. This becomes our world view or our personality type.

This approach to the system is built on self-discovery and self-observation. People see the world very differently from each other. This is demonstrated in Helen Palmer’s method of interviewing panels of the types which also helps people recognize their own and others’ points of view.

The Enneagram is psychological tool that fosters dialog and enables extraordinary teamwork. This comprehensive video introduction demonstrates how the Enneagram allows an organization or a team to be greater than the sum of its parts and attain improved leadership, reduced blame, personal transformation and more effective performance. Used to identify and remove cross purposes between individuals and within a single individual, the Enneagram helps people manage their strengths and weaknesses and capitalize on different ways of perceiving the same situation.

The program features David Daniels, MD, and Courtney Behm, MBA, developers and teachers of the Enneagram as a management tool. Dr. Daniels is a psychotherapist and professor of clinical psychiatry and the Stanford Medical School. Ms. Behm is a training specialist and Harvard Business School graduate. 71 min. Includes teaching guide.
