A 1 Business Leadership

Leadership subject at AGSB is an Ateneo advantage. It emphasizes leadership from within, authentic leadership. One of its pillars is love. This is odd in a cold steely corporate world. The others are heroism, ingenuity and self awareness. The goal of leadership is not only to develop oneself but to clone other leaders. Everybody has potential to be leader. What we do, even if we do not have followers influences/affects others. It is time to define Filipino leadership too

Regis Cebu Leadership Leader Melchor Castro Daclan, Enneagram

Regis Cebu Leadership

Leader Melchor Castro Daclan

Enneagram

I am in deed grateful for the Enneagram Test. I am happy with the result that I am most likely Type 3 – The Achiever and taking wings into account that seem to be a 3w2 (Type 2 - The Helper).

It excites and ignites my desire to become the best leader as I can be. This is a good manifestation of my great potentials.

Leadership Achiever

I was totally amazed to discover leadership potential when I was 11 years old after I dominate in Philippines Air Force Children Karate. Starting that young age I became a very anxiously engaged in training and leading my fellow Karate Kids. From that time onward I am a leader almost in every organization I will be involved.

Because of my charm and popularity in Karate I became class president almost every school year in high school and in college, including the community and most especially in the Church.

Being a Leader is a Trademark

Because of the momentum of my leadership since I was still a kid, people will always look at me as a leader profile and it became my trademark within my childhood friends and in our community, schools and most especially in our Church.

Once I am kind and result oriented, people will come to me confident and comfortable to ask for any assistance. I must administer Welfare Program and to use "Charity which is the Pure Love of Christ."

Bishop to Hundreds of People

Even though I was not aspiring to become a bishop in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (usually called Mormons) but it became an expectation of everyone around me. I am excited and never feeling tired of serving to people because it is my passion and happiness. It is my fulfillment each time I can see people become converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I serve in many capacity in the church: Ward and Stake Young Men President, Full-time Missionary, Zone Leader, District Leader, Missionary Trainer, Ward Mission Leader, Single Adults' Leader, Elders' Quorum President, Seminary Teacher, High Councilor, Institute of Religion President, Public Affairs Director and serving in a Bishopric calling for several times.

When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God (Mosiah 2:17).[3]

Serving as a full-time missionary was a preparation for me to become a Bishop. I spoke to many people both members of the church and strangers to share the words of God.

I truly believe in foreordination, "In the premortal spirit world, God appointed certain spirits to fulfill specific missions during their mortal lives. This is called foreordination. Foreordination does not guarantee that individuals will receive certain callings or responsibilities. Such opportunities come in this life as a result of the righteous exercise of agency, just as foreordination came as a result of righteousness in the premortal existence."[4]

Enneagram Type 3 - The Achiever[1]

Focused on the presentation of success, to attain validation.

People of this personality type need to be validated in order to feel worthy; they pursue success and want to be admired. They are frequently hard working, competetive and are highly focused in the pursuit of their goals, whether their goal is to be the most successful salesman in the company or the "sexiest" woman in their social circle. They are often "self-made" and usually find some area in which they can excel and thus find the external approbation which they so desperately need. Threes are socially competent, often extroverted, and sometimes charismatic. They know how to present themselves, are self-confident, practical, and driven. Threes have a lot of energy and often seem to embody a kind of zest for life that others find contagious. They are good networkers who know how to rise through the ranks. But, while Threes do tend to succeed in whatever realm they focus their energies, they are often secretly afraid of being or becoming "losers."

Threes can sometimes find intimacy difficult. Their need to be validated for their image often hides a deep sense of shame about who they really are, a shame they unconsciously fear will be unmasked if another gets too close. Threes are often generous and likable, but are difficult to really know. When unhealthy, their narcissism takes an ugly turn and they can become cold blooded and ruthless in the pursuit of their goals.

Because it is central to the type Three fixation to require external validation, Threes often, consciously and unconsciously, attempt to embody the image of success that is promoted by their culture. Threes get in trouble when they confuse true happiness, which depends on inner states, with the image of happiness which society has promoted. If a Three has a "good" job and an "attractive" mate, she might be willing, through an act of self-deception which is also self-betrayal, to ignore the inner promptings which tell her that neither her job, nor her mate are fulfilling her deeper needs. Even the most "successful" Threes, who generally appear quite happy, often hide a deeply felt sense of meaninglessness. The attainment of the image never quite satisfies.

Threes can sometimes mistype themselves when they mistake the more superficial features of their personalities as indicators of their type. So, for instance, an intellectual Three might mistype as aFive; a Three who is devoted to her role as mother might think she is a Two; a Three in a leadership position might mistype as an Eight and so on. Regardless of the manifestation however, the core of the type Three fixation is the deep need for external validation.

Enneagram Type 2 - The Helper[2]

Helpers who need to be needed

People of this personality type essentially feel that they are worthy insofar as they are helpful to others. Love is their highest ideal. Selflessness is their duty. Giving to others is their reason for being. Involved, socially aware, usually extroverted, Twos are the type of people who remember everyone's birthday and who go the extra mile to help out a co-worker, spouse or friend in need.

Twos are warm, emotional people who care a great deal about their personal relationships, devote an enormous amount of energy to them, and who expect to be appreciated for their efforts. They are practical people who thrive in the helping professions and who know how to make a home comfortable and inviting. Helping others makes Twos feel good about themselves; being needed makes them feel important; being selfless, makes Twos feel virtuous. Much of a Two's self-image revolves around these issues, and any threat to that self-image is scarcely tolerated. Twos are thoroughly convinced of their selflessness, and it is true that they are frequently genuinely helpful and concerned about others. It is equally true, however, that Twos require appreciation; they need to be needed. Their love is not entirely without ulterior motive.

Twos often develop a sense of entitlement when it comes to the people closest to them. Because they have extended themselves for others, they begin to feel that gratitude is owed to them. They can become intrusive and demanding if their often unacknowledged emotional needs go unmet. They can be bossy and manipulative, feeling entirely justified in being so, because they "have earned the right" and their intentions are good. The darkest side of the type Two fixation appears when the Two begins to feel that they will never receive the love they deserve for all of their efforts. Under such circumstances, they can become hysterical, irrational and even abusive.

Because Twos are generally helping others meet their needs, they can forget to take care of their own. This can lead to physical burnout, emotional exhaustion and emotional volatility. Twos need to learn that they can only be of true service to others if they are healthy, balanced and centered in themselves.

Twos can mistype themselves if they are not in an obvious helper role in their professional lives; they might not recognize the extent of their involvement in assisting others. This is especially true for male Twos, who have not received the same social rewards for helping as female Twos receive. Male Twos frequently mistype as Ones or Threes, the wings of type Two. Females, of all types, are bound to recognize some of the dynamics of type Two in their personalities, as such qualities have been socially reinforced. Female Nines, for instance, are especially prone to mistyping as Twos, particularly if they are the mothers of small children. But Nines are self-effacing and humble; Twos are proud and have a strong sense of their own worth.
