Powerful whole-system approach for growing organizations

The model of the seven levels of consciousness and the concept of full-spectrum consciousness are brilliant. They can be used for personal growth, leadership development and organizational changes. The framework for the whole-system change is very practical and applicable. I particularly like the four-why process of creating vision and mission for an organization. This book supports me to coach leaders more effectively.

A Must Read for Transformational Leaders!

Richard Barrett presents an excellent, well grounded model to help individuals who lead organizations effectively evolve through their personal and collective stages of development. He provides not only a framework for understanding, but also practical tools to assess the current situation, desired goals, and measurement instruments to get from concept to completion.

Book Review

Richard Barrett again does an outstanding job of clearly stating his main points, then building on them with facts and good examples. He is able to expertly blend some of the key principles of other authors -- Ken Wilbur and Don Beck -- with some of his material. The text provides some excellent evaluation tools, both for individuals and organizations. He references a number of websites for additional clarity of some of his points. He has an excellent reference list at the end of the book. Anyone who is looking at leadership and organizational values/vision/mission will do well to read this timely book.

Powerful model to measure & build organizational culture

Richard does another excellent job describing the seven levels of consciousness model and how this framework can be used to effectively measure an organization's culture. This process provides a values-based approach within a whole system perspective. Regardless of the status of an organziation's cultural health, this whole system approach provides the opportunity to integrate where an organization is (its current strengths, opportunities, systems and resources) and provides a map to get to where the organization wants to be. A great book that helps make sense of the complexity of organizational culture and how to improve it. Nice work!

Barrett on Values

Many of us read Richard Barrett's best-selling book, Liberating the Corporate Soul, and admired his visionary and soul nurturing approaches to building sustainable and enduring organisations. Now he has given birth to another major leap forward in how to develop and sustain values-based organisations. In this new book, Richard demonstrates again his genius at delivering clear conceptual and experience-based thinking on organisation culture as a new frontier of competitive advantage. Building on his experience in carrying out over 600 cultural values assessments in 35 countries, he shows how to build full-spectrum consciousness in leaders and organizations and how to carry out whole-system change to meet the challenges of accelerating change, deepening complexity and growing systemic risks.
