AT A GLANCE...
MONTHLY INSIGHT: RESPONSIBILITY

Gayle Hardie, a Senior Member of the Enneagram in Business Network who is Australia-based, has written another stimulating insight. You can read about how this insight relates to the 9 Enneagram styles by clicking the link to my blog at the end of this section.

Gayle's Insights about Responsibility   

 

"Response ability": The ability to respond to an opportunity, a situation, problem, task, project or challenge in a way that moves it forward.

 

I came across this interpretation of responsibility and found it a most powerful descriptor for a word that gets used regularly and frequently without commitment behind it. I often use it to reflect on my own contribution as a leader and in working with and engaging others.

 

How often do we find ourselves in situation where it is much easier to "go below the line" to blame, defend, deny or justify rather than "stepping up" to find a way forward?

 

What excuses do we use to keep us from taking initiative, to look for an alternative path, to create opportunities to learn and develop, to admit our mistakes or identify that others may be offering better ways forward than we have identified?

 

Taking responsibility doesn't mean we always have to find a solution or take action.  It can just be that we:

 

*Acknowledge and/or identify the part we can play in changing what is occurring

*Appreciate our impact and modify the way in which we might engage

*Remain as a "team player" rather than taking the lead or control of a situation

*Offer support and encouragement for others to step forward with their ideas


How will you know when you have taken responsibility? Perhaps there is an opportunity to stop and reflect the next time you find yourself "below the line" and ask what you can do to move forward instead.

Know Your Type: The New Enneagram iPhone App 


flowerapp

4000+ downloads in over 35 countries and highly ranked in "What's Hot" in both the US and Irish iTunes stores. This is just a great experience, being engaged in new technology and watching the Enneagram reach an ever-widening audience.

 

What is the best section of the new iPhone App? There are so many sections and many favorites. Some people like the videos because they are short and very real. Others like the weekly tips they get on their mobile phones, a weekly surprise. Many people comment on the Interactions between the types. People newer to the Enneagram like the "Find Your Type" section because it has a very cool animated way of using my typing cards. My favorite is "Test Your Knowledge," because it has real-world scenarios (10 of them), you choose the type you want to focus on, and you have to click your best answer about how to approach that person. Then you get feedback on your response.

 

Will there be an Android version of the App? I am working on it! The desire is there; it's an issue of being able to do this at an affordable price.

 

Translations are being worked on as we speak: French, German, Spanish, Thai, Korean, Chinese, and later on, Portuguese.
