Description:
This model has been developed by John Ott and Rose Pinard and is inspired by Ken Wilber’s work on the evolution of consciousness. The model is based on three foundational concepts: Collective wisdom—a transcendent knowing that can lead to profound action—is an innate capacity of any group (Briskin et al., 2009). Leadership is the capacity of any individual or group to cultivate the conditions for collective wisdom to arise in support of effective action. In any collective effort, then, there are four dimensions of change to be mastered.
The model illustrates that in order to achieve results, two orientations are needed in terms of self-leadership and collective leadership.
