EP322: You're On the Same Team, But Are You Working Together Like You Are? The Four Things You Need to Thrive Together

It can be difficult for couples and business partners to stay on the same team, even when they're committed to each other. Often, as time passes, unspoken fears and anxieties build up, leading to unresolved resentment. You try to be compassionate and understand where your partner is coming from but that can be difficult when it feels like they aren't respecting your needs or understanding your fears. We end up having power struggles that can become a tug of war over who is right and who is wrong until you begin to wonder where you fit into all of it—especially when it feels like you're on opposite teams. But just as it took the two of you to break things down, it will require both of you working together to repair your relationship. So how can you start to work together in a harmonious way? Today, on "Lead With The Enneagram," I will walk you through the four C's and my four-step approach to navigating conflict: clarity, compassion, compromise, and compassionate corrective action that couples can use to work together as a team. Listen in as I share why it's vital to begin with clarity as I walk you through how to open the door to honest communication through understanding each other's motives and fears, the importance of self-inventory and self-care, and how couples can use the Enneagram as a tool to create harmonious relationships while also accelerating growth in all areas of life. Conflict can be a catalyst for growth when navigated properly with the Enneagram—but your team might need a guide help bring clarity to the situation. I offer personalized Enneagram assessments, 90-minute deep dives, and leadership/team workshops to help people integrate this powerful tool into their personal and professional lives. I would be honored to take you through this journey. Find out more at TracyO'Malley.com in the work with me section.
