DEVELOPING THE INTEGRAL PERSPECTIVE
E X E C U T I V E I N T E G R A L L E A D E R S H I P P R O G R A M
Guiding Questions
• What does it take to create exceptional, sustained value?
• What is the role of leadership in this process?
The Integral Approach to LeadershipWhat is Leadership? • Leadership is enhancing the collective capacity to create what
matters most. How is Leadership Developed? • Leadership is developed from the inside out…• Embodying the organization you believe in.• Living from purpose.• Acting on your vision in every encounter.• Not waiting for the next job to begin being who you are.• Living your values and vision in the midst of mixed messages. • Being the change you want to see in the world. - Gandhi
Integral theory provides a comprehensive map of organizational analysis and transformative leadership that is
Comprehensive
Balanced, and
Integrated.
I N T E G R A L A G E N D A
Somehow, integral leaders see things that others don’t.
In this session we will focus on three fundamental building blocks of integral theory:
Quadrants
Levels of Development
Lines of Development
I N T E G R A L A G E N D A
C A S E S T U D Y Central DuPage Hospital is a successful suburban hospital Northwest of Chicago in Winfield, IL. Dr. Jeff Huml has been charged with heading the ICU. He is deeply committed to patient care excellence. This ICU is an open unit. Nursing turnover has been high and morale is low. The culture is one in
which doctors are the primary decision makers regarding patient care. In fact, physicians make all the primary patient care decisions; some treat the nurses brusquely. A new CEO has arrived and has asked Dr. Huml to lead a change process to improve the quality and overall effectiveness of the ICU. The CEO is focused on improving the hospital’s overall financial performance and sees improvement in this unit as being an important part of his overall strategy.
What advice would you give this leader?

UK Healthcare Case• Brief description of the leadership dilemma
• Teams of 3 – 4
• Rotating in the room across four quadrants & posting ideas for each
• Group discussion of the analysis
• What is the leadership challenge?
In addition to the quadrants, a
comprehensive, integral approach
must include an understanding of
the various lines of development.

There are, in fact, multiple
lines of development
that run through all of
the quadrants.

Lines in the upper left quadrant represent key dimensions of our interior lives. They may be thought of as intelligences that have adapted to questions the universe poses.
Cognitive Line “What is?”
Emotional Line “What am I feeling?”
Physical Line “What are the limits of my body?”
Interpersonal Line “How do I relate to others?”
Values Line “What’s important to me?”
Moral Line “What should I do?”
Spiritual Line “What is my relationship to Ultimate Reality?”

In addition to quadrants and lines, there is one more
important piece to the puzzle.
Each quadrant proceeds through levels of development with mastery of increasing levels of complexity, differentiation & ability to integrate ambiguity into thought & action.

Level IV

Level II

Development occurs over time and in context, & thus the interior is integrated with exterior change & with corresponding changes in how one engages & participates in the collective domains of life.

Mastering a level of development in one quadrant requires developing competency in the other quadrants to the

L E V E L S
The Action Logic of a leader is their way of responding to the question: “How do I influence this situation” & “What’s the important outcome I choose as ‘success’?”
A Value is any Belief, Principle, or Virtue held so deeply (consciously or unconsciously) that it guides Behavior, Decisions and Action. (Nahser, 2001)
Values & Action Logics form a Developmental Level that is distinctive, stable, coherent.
Patterns of conscious attention & chosen response and interaction.
Are stable across cultures and across time.
Adaptive to life circumstances (disequilibrium) , thus changeable.
Later logics can understand earlier ones, but not vice versa.
Each person’s action logic is right for him or her.
ACTION LOGICS & VALUES
Domain of Attention: External, physical, environments they can control or manipulate
Dominant Values: Gaining control, dominance & unilateral power as the only effectual power
Action Logic: Timing action for “I win” Strengths: Operate in adverse, emergency conditions Risk-taker & turn-around artist Not Bound by tradition or rules that impede action Tough, directive, predictable Can open unstructured market opportunities Difficulties: Impulsive, low tolerance for ambiguity Not team player & develops “dependency” in teams Doesn’t take responsibility for actions, blames Tactful manipulation may work or be seen as disingenuous,
false, or as lying
THE OPPORTUNIST
Given the case we reviewed earlier: How would the Opportunist action logic be an advantage? A disadvantage? Can you think of two or three colleagues who operate out of this action logics some or most of the time? To what degree is this a fall-back action logic for you? Are you so appalled by this action logic that you have not learn how to manage someone who exhibits it?
THE OPPORTUNIST
Domain of Attention: Observed or sensed performance Dominant Values: Self-control, adherence to established
norms and customs of the culture Action Logic: Who is the authority, follow tradition Strengths: Loyal & seeks to be pleasing, to meet approval Strong work ethic, reliable, resourceful Defends the culture, speaks the company language Exquisite sense of tact, seeking honest agreement Assumes a strong sense of role, referent power Difficulties: Smoothing over conflict, trying to please Risk averse, lacking creativity, resistant to change Avoids negative feedback, deflects it “Don’t lose face” More blind to other ways of behaving than most
The Diplomat
Domain of Attention: Internal consistency, knowledge & competent use of skills
Dominant Values: Craft excellence, the “best” at what I do, different, independent & valued for it
Action Logic: Being right, technical merit, efficient Strengths: High craft skills with high professional standards Self-critical & open to critical feedback by established methods Acts from an internally consistent moral order Perfectionist Difficulties: Choose efficiency over effectiveness Inflexibility over method/logic, closed to others Not a good team player May fall victim to self-generated stress
THE EXPERT
Domain of Attention: External goals, outcomes, how things work on inside and outside to achieve
Dominant Values: Advancing the organization while advancing one’s influence over it
Action Logic: What works, timely action for results Strengths: Highly flexible in choosing different strategies Inspirational & expects change as normative Drives to the goal line & appreciates mutuality, not hierarchy Comfortable engaging complexity Self-Authoring Difficulties: Feels guilt if doesn’t meet his/her expectations Blind to subjective motives shaping conclusions Values the goal over the process/strategy
