165. Group Project Dynamics: Type 3 Takes Over and Type 9 Checks Out - Why This Happens and What to Do

We’ve all been there—a group project where one person (possibly a Type 3) takes over like they’re leading a Fortune 500 company while another (let's say a Type 9) quietly disappears into the background.So, why does this happen? And more importantly, how do we fix it?In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we’re breaking down:Why Type 3s naturally take charge (and sometimes overdo it)Why Type 9s drift into the role of silent supporter (or fully check out)How this dynamic can lead to burnout for Type 3 & disengagement for Type 9Simple fixes to create balance, clear roles, and actual teamworkHow to make sure Type 3 doesn’t ‘redo’ everyone’s work & Type 9 doesn’t fade into oblivionIf you’re a Type 3, this episode will help you lead without steamrolling. If you’re a Type 9, this will help you stay engaged without feeling overwhelmed. If you're neither but manage people, this will help you better understand and address challenging group project dynamics. Have a request for a future episode?
