The Integral Leadership Review published my article “The Corporate Quest: Attaining New Levels” in the June Review.  I hope you’ll have a chance to visit their site and read the article (as well as other excellent articles related to Integral Leadership).

In the article I argue that the quest is an archetypal pattern for transformation and renewal. The corporate quest, based on that archetype, is a systematic approach for moving to a higher-order level of development in organizations. It is not simply a metaphor, but an observable, repeating pattern in real-life transformation. The quest model accelerates transformation and reduces the risk of dead ends. Much of the quest takes place not at home base, but in uncharted territory, where breakthrough opportunities are plentiful. Because people have a powerful innate propensity to quest, corporate quest activate passion, creativity and imagination in participants.

I also attempt to connect the quest model to Integral Theory, drawing relationships between the corporate quest and a range of Integral concepts.

If you have thoughts about the article, I would love to hear from you.  Please post your comments here.
