What's your tribe?

An Enneagram guide to human types at work and play

The Enneagram is an ancient model for identifying nine personality types. Despite its roots it has been scientifically validated in modern psychological research. What’s Your Tribe? uses the Enneagram to give readers a practical tool to understand their own and others’ behaviour, improving relationships at work and in their private lives. In this book the nine types of the Enneagram (the tribes) are richly illustrated using ordinary people as examples, who identify with a specific type. For example:   The Challenger – the Lion: Takes charge, is a straight-talker, likes to do things his or her way, may walk over others yet inspires them and may make sacrifices for others.   The Peacemaker – the Crocodile: Sits things out rather than pushes for an outcome, may procrastinate, but remains calm under pressure, and sees both sides of the argument.

Of interest to:
