The author believes that "The Enneagram and Leadership" is a classic course at Stanford Business School, and also one of the author's favorite courses. The author couldn't sleep all night and finished reading The Enneagram in one go. Afterward, the author curiously observed the people around them, trying to determine which type they belonged to, and often re-opened The Enneagram to study a particular type in detail. The author was delighted by new discoveries: it turned out that the completely different approaches of others were based on entirely different principles! Business operations involve constant interaction with people. To succeed, one must understand their mindset and personality, consider problems from their perspective, and engage in transactions effectively.
