Dear Prof Jorge,
submitted is my revision for my enneagram paper
Andre Ladan
Regis Cebu Leadership
Leader ANDRE LITO LADAN
Enneagram
Learnings from Defining moments.
Based on the Lifeline-Defining moments assignment I've experienced four defining moments in my life and the learnings resulting from them.
a. At 20 years old- when I have to work to feed myself together with 4 other classmates. It showed me the realities of life and taught me foresight. I learned to consider my future and prepare for it. That experience taught me to become more serious in life.
b. At 23 years old – I failed a mission because of my swag and incompetence. That incident cost the lives of people. It taught me humility and helped shape my work ethic. It taught me the importance of knowledge and competence in my profession. From then on I try to learn even the most mundane of task as long as it is within my responsibility.
c. At 32 years old – I got sick and despite the hours I poured at work often sacrificing time for my family it was my family who were with me and nursed me back to health. During my hospital stay I learned the importance of taking care of my body and my family. I also learned to take it slow at times and appreciate what I have.
d. At 36 years old – at a seven habits program, I was forced to make a credo and it became the guiding principle of my leadership. I learned that there are times that mission accomplishment and taking care of you people is not enough. As a leader, it is also important to develop our people and their character.
Learnings Based on the class lectures/topics
Based on my Enneagram test I am a type 8 challenger/leader, I could also be a type 7 enthusiast or a type 1 reformer.
Type Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At Their Best: self- mastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring.[1]
