8/31 – Anderson and Adams on Mastering Leadership and the Integral Self

Leadership Quote / August-November 2016

“The Integral Self is both fierce and compassionate. Fierce compassion heals. David Whyte says: ‘The blade is so sharp it cuts things together, not apart’ (Whyte, 1997). The inner work of the Integral transformation is shadow work – work that integrates shadow elements into a larger, more inclusion construction of the self.
