Optimal Distribution of the Types and Instincts in Teams
I have found that the teams and organizations that do not have all three centers represented and all three instincts represented do not have the big picture. It is a problem because it creates a hidden blind spot that weakens whatever project the team is working on. If the team knows what aspect they are missing, they can ask for feedback from those that have the missing perspective. It greatly improves the outcome of the project.

For example, if a team is organized to put rewards in place for an organization to build trust and rapport, they need to know what the three instinctual types want.

With one organization of 3k employees, the team leaders did not have a social or sexual instinctual type on the team. The team naturally came up with rewards were based on self-preservation concerns. The planned rewards included more vending machines, large modular tables, and a few large sofas for employees to sit on during their breaks. After learning about the Enneagram, I suggested a quick email survey be sent asking what the employees would like to have in their break room to promote trust and rapport.

The socials wanted to be acknowledged and have organized opportunities to meetup. They also wanted large round or rectangular tables for five or more.

The sexuals wanted to have some small tables for two and some chairs and loveseats instead of just having large round tables and sofas.

The self-preserving types also wanted lights that could dim. 😉

It was an easy fix: modular tables of 2 and 4 that could be grouped or separated as needed, modular sofa elements that could also be grouped or separated as needed, and a weekly email flyer that notified the teams of planned meetups with one flyer a month that introduced new people and honored employee contributions.

They did get their dimmers... eventually.
