Pierre GOIRAND on 12/21 – The Unintentional Bully: An Autoethnographic Reflection on Leadership - 01/09/2021
Mickael, thank you for your article the subject of bullying in the workplace is very important I have suffered from bullying as well and it leaves an indelible mark - and shows up in uncanny way in the context of adult life. I appreciate the difficult exercise of detailing one's own experience - it takes accepting to show oneself as "weak" which in our heroic star leadership culture is rarely welcomed - bravo You've also tried to show ways in which you can replicate bullying behaviors. which is crucial as we know from the study of abuse and addiction that perpetrators often have been victims. I am French, and in French we have a word for the victim "le souffre douleur" literally, he who suffers the pain. But we do not have a name to the perpetrator, no name for the bully. Which makes it hard to write an article on the subject. when we have no word we have a problem; but when we use a word beyond it's scope we also create a problem. In this respect, your article leaves me confused as you do not give any definition of what do you mean by bullying. You then tend to include Under this umbrella all sorts of behaviors such as criticism, lack of support, lack of interest, lack of care... this is not bullying. the scope become too large and diffused. In my view all actions or ways to interact that makes someone feel bad, not considered and even disrespected are not necessarily bullying. Can there be a pattern of the victim to tend to see bullies and bullying everywhere ? Bullying is not a one time occurence, it is a behavioral pattern, it is a trait of personality. Your use the term of "unintentional bullying" - but you do not define it either - is there such a thing ? It does not resonate with me. The bully always chooses his victims. Can you imagine a bully saying , "ooh I am sorry, did I bully you ? it was unintentional, really I am sorry, I didn't mean to , I apologize...." - (I wonder as I write this if this way to express critcism, will fall under your label of unintentional bullying ?) By being so broad, you miss aspects of bullying that from my point of view and experience are essential : such as the intention to make the other feel bad, the sadistic inclination, the pleasure of humiliation, the tactics, the importance of recurrence, the servitude; the internalization of shame... I would very much welcome a study of bullying in the workplace and/or in relation to leadership that would limit itself to bullying per se. If you know of any please let me know - and maybe you will be the one writing it. Thank you very much for opening the conversation
Claudius van Wyk on 12/21 - Clare W. Graves Revisited: Beyond Value Systems: Biocultural Co-evolution and the Double Helix Nature of Existence - 01/02/2021
An excellent integrative description of Graves' seminal work which contributes to the thinking of the Holos Project and the work of the Evolutionary Transformations Group.
Claudius van Wyk on 12/21 - Clare W. Graves Revisited: Beyond Value Systems: Biocultural Co-evolution and the Double Helix Nature of Existence - 01/02/2021
An excellent summary of the main insights from Clare Graves. thank you. It contributes to the foundation thinking of Holos Project and the ET Group.
Said E. Dawlabani on 12/21 — Vision is Only the Beginning: Educators Talk about Highly Effective Leadership in Colleges and Universities - 12/28/2020
Dear David, As inspiring as this research is, I fear it leaves out much of the elephant in the room that is the disruption being caused by the Digital Age. I might as well have been reading a piece from the 1980's. Should higher education remain primarily a utility, ie a tool that helps people acquire skills for jobs, traditional 4-year colleges will become dinosaurs regardless of how much "innovation" people from within the system attempt to bring in. I didn't hear specifics on embracing the myriad of new platforms towards which much of the new generation is gravitating. Nor were there specific about shifts towards life-long learning that defines the future job market, an to a greater extent the structure of the future of society and the critical role that higher education plays in it. If you're familiar with the Spiral Dynamics model, most the responses you'rve listed from University presidents, deans and provosts are the recycling of Green and Orange values that have defined higher education for over a century. The future requires higher education to be designed from the much higher Yellow level of values that anticipate institutional disruption ahead of time and be on the cutting edge of social changes, not react with an old model designed from the highest levels of Orange and Green. Social disruption has gone exponential requiring models of education, governance and everything else to become lean, resilient, and capable of continuance change and adaptation. As brilliant as university educators are, they simply don't see the future from the much higher level of consciousness that comes from the Yellow stage of human development.
Antonio Augusto Casari Kós on 12/21 — Seeing Through the World: An Invitation to Begin the Healing Work - 12/27/2020
Thank you Cynthia for these great reflections on what integral is, or what it is meant to be. After a few years of contact with Wilber's work i begun to feel it as a rational (modern) framing, as you said a bidimensional, and quite cartesian reduction of an integral horizon that has many more dimensions than Wilber was able to comunicate. I am glad i found your blog. I guess i will be following you into aperspectival sanity :) Best regards
Robin Wood on 12/21 — Seeing Through the World: An Invitation to Begin the Healing Work - 12/24/2020
A stunning exposition of the Gebserian core, with all due credit to Jeremy's ability to clarify the key elements of Gebser's approach. This fresh interpretation of "aperspectival" as a grand embrace of all the structures of consciousness as a whole, and not a form of madness, is a real breakthrough in unblocking the head-centric character of most of the developmental models and the misleading idea of climbing a ladder, never to return to the ground of being as one ascends in altitude, eventually succumbing to the altitude sickness so prevalent in "second-tier" perspectives.
Lex Neale on 12/21 - Integral Reflections on Science and Spirituality with Peter Merry and Nish Dubashia - 12/23/2020
"...an evolutionary and metaphysical model that Nish had developed while still in his early twenties, and its possible correlations with modern physics and Eastern spirituality." Nish, my work with Integral Relativity Theory, and its praxis of Multi-Dimensional Science, had much of its inspiration from Bohm's model, and I would have dearly liked to have had the same discussion with him! So I'm very curious about your model, and ask you for some links that you may send to my email lexneale.integral@gmail.com If you are curious about Integral Relativity, I shall similarly send you links to my peer reviewed published papers, which hopefully may lead to a discussion regarding our two meta models. Thanks for the interesting discussion with Peter. Best wishes, Lex Neale

Nice piece of work. Congs.Dr. Gitta
Kathleen Moylan on 1/15 – A Circle of Aiijaakag, a Circle of Maangag: Integral Theory and Indigenous Leadership - 09/10/2020
Hello Janice: I am a researcher living in the Yukon. I did graduate work at Royal Roads University in Environmental Education and Communication back in 2012 - 2015. I studied the theory of integral systems but have never had the opportunity to apply my knowledge. I am wondering where you received your practical knowledge of the integral model? And, where I could go to gain the applications? I hope to be able to use this knowledge as a practitioner in the Yukon for governments, NGO's and schools. Thank you in advance, Kate Moylan
Pratibha Gramann on 7/31 - Talking Transcendence: Scott Barry Kaufman in Dialogue with Alfonso Montuori - 08/13/2020
Liking the psychology that centers around Self-actuslization and self-trancendence, and whole person - these seem more relevant. I have a new framework for psychology based on Principles of the cosmos . It is Transpersonal and Transcendent. I’m interested to discuss the same and difference between these 2 concepts.
Marilyn Hamilton on 7/31 - The current state of Integral in Russia - 08/03/2020
Eugene - thanks so much for your panoramic history of Integral Life in Russia - I am deeply grateful to be mentionned (and to be so beautifully translated by you and published by iPratik). I have also enjoyed learning of all the other (parallel) integrally-informed activities that have been ongoing. Your contribution to the many translations with such a high ethic and clarity of intention, is inspiring and has no doubt created a momentum for the whole Integral field - not only in Russia, but Europe and other parts of the west as well. Thank you also for such a beautifully crafted article - which should be tagged as a significant curation of Integral history in Russia.

Allemaal prima Jaap, maar wat als de UN de nieuwe 'regering' vormt?
Mind Meditation on 05/31 – The Assessment and Development of Analytical and Systems Thinking Skills in the Work Environment - 06/13/2020
This article is much information as it is based on research and reality. By reading these types of articles mind becomes relax ,. Mind meditation is also a mind relaxing activity.

thank you so much gratitude .
Brian McConnell on 12/21 – Further Integrating Integral - 12/31/2019
First, and perhaps foremost, "Further Integrating Integral" heralds the "sea-change" of a revolution in mainstream science spawned by David Sloan Wilson's well-qualified work relating to "group" and "multi-level selection" and its potential impact on "politics, economics, and business". Secondly, and once I better appreciated the practical working of Wilson's evolutionary perspective, transdisciplinary facets began presenting themselves with tangible prospects for integrating Graves', Kegan's, and Theory U's respective models.
Edward Berge on 12/21 – Nurturing our Humanity with Riane Eisler - 12/27/2019
Speaking of creating new language to define a partnership society, I call it hier(an)archical synplexity to differentiate it from hierarchical complexity. From this piece:* "There is ample evidence that the collaborative commons is not only emerging but already has a solid foothold in the transition away from capitalism. It also seems to be growing organically via its peer to peer principles, changing the very ethos of what it means for a system to organize. It integrates hierarchy with heterarchy in a distributed, networked format that transcends capitalism's dominant hierarchical, top-down structure. This format is where organizational levels no longer evolve in a strictly linear fashion of an ever-increasing complexity of growth but via the evolution of a folded, meshed, ecological sustainability, akin to what I've come to call hier(an)archical synplexity" (p. 90). From capitalism to the collaborative commons: http://integral-review.org/pdf-template-issue.php?pdfName=vol_15_no_1_berge_from_capitalism_to_the_collaborative_commons.pdf
Lesley on 12/21 – Wayfinding for Perpetual Well-Being in Higher Education - 12/27/2019
Wayfinding seems well positioned as part of an education program. In this case you could not be anything but ' haoles', since that is based on origin.
Otto Laske on 6/16 – On Bhaskarian and Laskean Dialectics - 12/16/2019
This is the most perceptive article about my absorption of Bhaskar's work and the clearest sketch of 'Laskean' dialectic I have found. The reluctance of seeing in Bhaskar's work the beginning of a new dialogical epistemology is astounding to me; it seems to be easier to remain in a monological academic mode despite the pervasive and urgent need of listening-based dialogue at high levels of thinking the world over, not only in for-profit organizations. I think this is a sad story. For an attempt to turn the tide toward greater and pragmatic self-reflection based on adult-developmental research, see Jan De Visch's and my book on "Practice of Dynamic Collaboration" forthcoming at Springer in 2020. Thank you Michael for your very clear outline of the differences between Bhaskar's monological and my dialogical dialectic (which by the way owes a lot to Bruno Liebrucks, my Frankfurt teacher who wrote a 7-volume work on Hegel and his use of language, under the title of "Sprache und Bewusstsein", so far untranslated into English. I am convinced that knowledge of Liebruck's and my work could completely redefine the integral community's grasp of how the real world works.
Keifala Kanneh on 1/20 – Leadership in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Development Process - 11/16/2019
Every element of your research is significant and thought provoking. It is one of the amazing research materials I have encountered. It is going to be very useful for my research. Great work!
Narumon Jiwattanasuk on 4/7 – An Integral Perspective of Peace Leadership - 10/25/2019
I've studied PHD Peace studies in Thailand. May I consult with you accordingly.
