In simple terms, the Enneagram is a symbol of our inner process. We see it as a fluid diagram of how our thoughts, feelings and beliefs interact. No matter how we use the Enneagram, we need first and foremost to discover our own personality type and (where possible) to ascertain the types of those we are dealing with. Discovering our type is only the first step in the process of self-discovery and working with this system. Finding our type is not the final goal but merely the starting place for one of the most fascinating and rewarding journeys of our life.

The Enneagram helps us see our own personality dynamics more clearly. Once we are aware of the importance of personality types, we see that our own style will not be equally effective with everyone. Thus, one of the most useful lessons of the Enneagram is how to move from a management style in which others are expected to mold themselves to our way of thinking and values to a more flexible management style in which we act from an awareness of the strengths and potential contributions of others. By doing so, we help others become more effective themselves - and as a result, harmony, productivity, and satisfaction are likely to increase.
