But if you don’t have strong teams, you are at a serious handicap. The type of solutions that are needed to navigate an increasingly complex world requires mental flexibility and emotional intelligence that most people are lacking.

What is your go-to coping strategy when you are dealing with all that life throws at you? The Enneagram teaches that you adopt a specific pattern of behavior that is in response to a core belief and fear.
