This January, at Fielding Graduate University’s winter session, Jerry Snow facilitated the integral leadership panel. In this session, a group of doctoral students and alumni gathered around Russ Volckmann, Clint Fuhs, Aliki Nicolaides, Nancy Wallis, and Anne Acosta to listen to and discuss their integral leadership research and practice. I authored some notes from the field for the Integral Leadership Review journal to share our session with the wider community. They were published in the March 2011 issue.

The Panel

The session started with participants thinking about their current, pressing questions with regard to integral leadership by answering what they would like to read about in an academic journal. These questions then provided a structure for the introductions, which were then posted to relevant quadrants on an integral AQAL map on the meeting room’s wall. After that, the panel introduced themselves by sharing what integral leadership means for them, what initiatives they are currently pursuing, what specific aspects of integral leadership interest them right now, and how they see integral leadership developing in the future. After the introductions, Jerry facilitated an interactive discussion between the panel and the participants that connected some of these questions to insights emerging from the panel’s ideas. Russ Volckmann, who attended the meeting virtually, rounded up the session by reflecting on the topics and questions that struck a chord with him.
