Feature Article: “Level 5 Leadership”: Leadership that Transforms Organizations and Creates Sustainable Results

Feature Articles / March 2008

Maureen Metcalf

Maureen MetcalfWe have been hearing about “Level 5 Leadership” since Jim Collins’ book Good to Great became popular over 5 years ago. This book made the term “Level 5” a common phrase in business circles. While the term is often used, it is not often understood. Even worse, many people believe they understand what it is and may spend energy developing themselves in ways that do not actually produce the results they hope to create. I believe we can …

Leading Comments: Leader, Leader, Who is the Leader?

Leading Comments / March 2008

Russ VolckmannAs people around the world who are interested in the practice, development and theories of leadership, we face a dilemma. Well, maybe more than one. For example, how does it feel to be a part of a field of understanding with no agreement about what the field is about? Is it about management? Is it about something that is different from management? Is it about service? Is it about charisma? Is it about transformative change? Is it about leaders and

Leadership Quote

Leadership Quote / March 2008

“Leadership, simply put, raises our consciousness, because we cannot solve the problems and challenges we face with the same thinking that caused them.

Dialogue: Integral Theory into Integral Action: Part 9

Dialogue / March 2008

In Part 8 of this dialogue Mark laid out six morphological categories of conceptual lenses. These categories are grouped according to their conceptual shape.

  • Holarchical (what)
  • Bipolar (why)
  • Cyclical (how)
  • Relational (when)
  • Standpoint (who)
  • Multimorphic (several questions)
