A Solution-Driven Handbook for Workplace Relationships Why is it so difficult to collaborate with that one coworker? Why can't your boss understand where you're coming from? We all want to experience a healthy, flourishing work environment, but interpersonal conflicts and miscommunications often make work feel frustrating, overwhelming, and maybe even toxic. With the Enneagram as her guide, Joey Schewee provides a holistic, empowering approach to relating to one another in the workplace, as she helps you foster behavioral consciousness through awareness of motivational differences. She provides practical explanations of a dynamic wisdom for immediate application using anecdotes gained from seventeen years of consulting in professional environments. Drawing from her work with thousands of employees and hundreds of teams, Schewee introduces new concepts such as processing centers, reference points, and focus shifts, Enneagram advancements shared in this book for the first time. In When Working Together Doesn't Work, you'll learn how differing motivations or types can affect employee cohesiveness and productivity, how managers can engage individuals by type, so that employees feel understood and valued, and how to significantly reduce the perception of personal slights and pave the way for understanding, trust, and collaboration. While many personality typing systems focus on behavior, they often fail to address the core motivations behind it—something the Enneagram does exceptionally well. When Working Together Doesn't Work is designed to equip you, at any level of business, to improve workplace dynamics. By applying the proven approach outlined in this book, you'll significantly reduce misunderstandings, build trust, and encourage collaboration at work. As you grow in your understanding of your coworkers, you'll experience improved employee engagement and shape your work culture in powerful and lasting ways. Start transforming your workplace today!
