ILR January 2009 - Leadership in Australia
The contributions in this special edition show elements of new leadership-maybe second tier-emerging. These elements are fragile and agile. Almost all point out the struggle between including the benefits of the present and transcending the emerging new.

Read the leading comment by Ron Cacioppe, Guest Editor for this issue.

This issue contains the first discussion of a Global Integral Leadership study that we are undertaking at the Integral Institute Australasia. Jay Davies spent three months visiting England and the United States interviewing eight leaders who were identified as having characteristics of ‘Integral' leaders.

Roger Stace explores the ongoing puzzle of how humans could have evolved the traits that integral leaders exhibit and proposes a new theory for why these beautiful and inspiring aspects of human nature are adaptive.

Tom Morris explores integral leadership in the workplace using the AQAL framework and considers 1st, 2nd and 3rd person perspectives.

Steve McDonald also takes us on his personal journey in working with clients to apply the integral perspective to managing change.

Mark Edwards uses three lenses to look at leadership: developmental (stages of development), ecological (leader-follower relations), governance (power), and argues that these are additional important dimensions to the understanding and practice of leadership.

David McDermott and Ron Cacioppe bring an integral model of four quadrants and six levels to the important subject of environmental sustainability and include examples of organizations such as InterfaceFlor, Bendigo Bank and Google that are demonstrating a commitment to zero environmental harm.
