Transforming Your Leadership Culture

54 TRANSFORMING YOUR LEADERSHIP CULTURE

This chapter looks at the general process of developing that
bigger mind from the Inside - Out. The concept applies to both
individuals and groups and their organizations. In this chapter
we will stay mainly at the group, cultural level. Chapter Four
will immerse you more directly in the personal level, which
is where you must start.

The Nature of Lifelong Development

Although grown - ups like to consider themselves, well, grown
up, development really means that no matter how old we are,
we still have ways in which we need to keep growing. This can
mean facing up at last to grizzly challenges and attaining the
wisdom needed to deal with increasing complexity.
Most of us understand development as a continuing law of
life. We were all kids once. We understand from our own experi-
ence and from watching our children grow that there are stages
of early development that are, beyond question, a normal and
inherent part of life. But many of us are not aware that those
stages or levels of development do not stop at age twenty - one.
