In this episode Nick Drummond and Mats Edin discuss a model they use with teachers and school leaders called the Leadership Pyramid.
The model is inspired by integral philosopher Ken Wilber and describes the relationship between Depth and Span. Depth refers to verticality or levels of development in human consciousness: eg. from egocentric, to group-centric, to worldcentric to kosmocentric.
Span is show on the horizontal axis and refers to the number of individuals and groups at each level. The diagram shows that the number of individuals and groups decreases as depth increases.
In the middle of the pyramid they point out a barrier to development, which is responsible for the choas in many schools. This position expresses the perspective: Don’t judge! Everything is relative!
When teachers and school leaders move from the middle to the top of the pyramid then all levels become aligned and the whole class is participating on their developmental edge.
