Nines, the Need
to be at Peace
Introduction: If you look at the Enneagram model, you’ll find at point 9 the type
that needs to be at peace. This type is in the Instinctive group, those who relate to
the world through their gut and instinct. From this type come some of the most
easy-to-like and also some of the laziest people. This type shows us how to come to
terms with their environment even if they are accused of lacking ambition.

PEACEMAKERS

Nines are the Peacemakers of the Enneagram.
They come nearer than any other type to being
free of the limitations of type. Nines put the
needs of others before themselves, even to the
extent of suppressing completely their own
personal desires. Their world is not distorted by
conflicts, confrontation and hostility. They are
easy-going, seek the least complicated route
through human affairs and, in their own person,
bring people together. They are natural
mediators, facilitators and problem-solvers, the
type that needs to do little in order to get a lot
done.

The reflective pace of Nines
3. HOW TO
RECOGNISE A
NINE
At first, it is difficult to notice a Nine because a
Nine's natural inclination is towards self-
effacement. Nines are happy to just be. Nines go
missing a lot. They like to wander off where the
fancy takes them. A Nine will dress unremarkably,
merging with the way others dress. The lack of
direction displayed by Nines is reflected in their
speech patterns: they are ramblers or say
nothing. When they do speak, though, Nines are
simple, candid, unadorned, childlike, with plenty
of common sense and no ulterior hidden motives.

4. THE NINE AT
WORK

Nines take work in their stride
Work is something that Nines would rather not
have to think about too much. They already
experience the joy and contentment of life. Why
work for it as well? This can set Nines at odds
with others in the team. When others deliver on
time, Nines are usually late; when others produce
a six-page report, Nines make do with one, if any;
and when others put their nose to the
grindstone, Nines will find a reason to be off
somewhere else.

5. THE NINE-
STYLE
ORGANISATION
A Nine organisation has the following
characteristics: a gentle management style; a
culture of allowing, letting, facilitating and
supporting; managers have time and make time;
effortless effort; the KISS principle (Keep It Short
and Simple); "the art of management is to make
complicated things simple, not simple things
complicated"; jobs are completed without taking
longer than they need to; sticking it out is valued
over quality or personal ownership; a steady rock
in times of difficulty.

Cricketer David Gower: “I made everything look easy”
7. "A BIT OF
WORK, THEN
GO HOME"
Cricketer David Gower was England captain 18
times, and presided over 8 successive defeats.
This is how Gower describes his style. "The
common allegation was that I made everything
look too easy. Which was great when we were
winning because then everyone would say how
graceful I was, but awful when it all went horribly
wrong because then everyone would look at me. I
fear playing cricket now because it seems too
much like hard work."

To discover the Nines on your team, ask yourself: "Who always goes along with the majority?";
"Who finds the shortest route?" and "Who tends to be the most relaxed member of the team?”
