Enneagram Built Citizenship in Organizations

Abstract

The phenomenon of “citizenship” continues to attract growing attention of leaders and practitioners of organizations as well as academicians. Because they realize that citizenship not only brings a more transformational power to leader of the workplace but a more profitable business as well. Learning the value of citizenship organizations are looking for methods and means to fulfill all the expectations of their workforce including mental, spiritual, pecuniary and moral needs. This makes enneagram, an ancient system of personality development, a good choice for organizations which tend to develop elasticity and pro-activity. By exploring workforce orientation, leaders can help identify and surmount the limitations of their value systems and increase strengths to self-less citizens. While workers gain an integrated worldview, and care to others’ wellness, organizations may experience profits above the average industry level. This paper successfully attempted to use the enneagram system as a tool for enhancing citizenship in the workplace.
