Bonus resources from Brett
In our debriefing after the class, Brett shared he had never before taught Integral Leadership to a new group in so little time. He was very impressed with the level of insight and complexity of thinking of our aspiring Agents of Conscious Business!
As a bonus, he’s gone all-out and generously shared the following additional resources with all of us:
- A 30-minute video presentationon Integral Leadership (as a reference and to further deepen your understanding)
- Eight articles from the Integral Leadership Collaborative, one of Brett’s many cool projects. These are another 74 pages to help you really deepen your understanding of leadership, motivation, communication, the Integral framework, and more. Wow!
- Practice guidelines and tips for practicing Integral Leadership, sorted into the three levels of skill he mentioned during the class: 1) Recognizing the Mindset, 2) Translating into the Dialect, and 3) Embodying the Leadership Style.
You’ll find the video presentation and the additional eight articles below.
