We are in the fifth year of publication of the Integral Leadership Review. It is increasingly taking the form that I hoped, although I am sure there is still much that can be done to make this a useful document that attracts a wider audience in the fields of consulting, training and coaching, as well as among business and other organizational leaders who have a passion for leadership.

I am grateful to the 1146 subscribers to Integral Leadership Review. Your support means that we can move closer to a way of viewing and being in the world that is integrative, generative and supportive of our evolving integrity – learning to align our theory and our action, our values and assumptions with achieving what is important to us. Also, I am grateful to the many kindnesses, suggestions and offers of support we have received.

The mission of this e-publication is to be a practical guide to the application of an integral perspective to the challenges of leadership in business and life and to the effective relationship between executive/business coaches and their clients. My vision includes that this will be a place where others, as well as myself, can continue to develop and share ideas about Integral Leadership and integral coaching. That vision is being realized.

There is no way I can do justice to all of the material in this publication in a brief space. Therefore, I will highlight a couple of interesting pieces related to Integral Leadership. Here are the articles included in this issue:

Thierry C. Pauchant, Integral Leadership: a research proposal

Ron Cacioppe and Mark G. Edwards, Adjusting blurred visions: a typology of integral approaches to organizations

Nancy E. Landrum and Carolyn L. Gardner, Using integral theory to effect strategic change

Carla C.J.M. Millar, Chong Ju Choi, Edward T. Russell and Jai-Boem Kim, Open source communities: an integrally informed approach

Mark G. Edwards, The integral holon: a holonics approach to organizational change and transformation

Russ Volckmann, Assessing executive leadership: an integral approach

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first peer-reviewed journal to devote a special issue to any aspect of integral studies. If you know of others, please let me know.
