Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I see myself as having outgrown all that rigid structure and discipline, but my life keeps falling apart in exactly the places that need it
- I keep treating my way of seeing things as the right one and everyone else’s as a problem to overcome, and I want to genuinely hold that what the people I clash with value is real and needed
- I keep making what feels to me like an obviously compelling case and watching it bounce right off this person
- I’m behaving in ways that aren’t like me
- I’m changing and growing on my own and they’re changing on theirs, but none of it is together
Practices that may help
- Avoid level-jumping: build through each stage rather than skipping
Recognize when you’re bypassing a developmental level that still has unresolved challenges.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical
Spiral Dynamics, developed by Don Beck and Chris Cowan from Clare Graves’ research, maps human values and worldviews as a developmental spiral of "vMEMEs" (value systems) that respond to life conditions. Each tier addresses the adaptive challenges of its environment and transcends but includes what came before. The theory is influential in leadership and organizational development, but its empirical base is primarily Graves’ original clinical/interview research; the full stage-sequence model has not been rigorously trialed. - Develop second-tier, systems-level thinking
Practice holding multiple value systems as simultaneously valid rather than competing for dominance.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Communicate across value-system differences
Translate your message into the motivational language of the person you’re trying to reach.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Assess which life conditions are activating which levels
Map how your current environment is pulling different value systems forward or backward.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Pursue personal growth that you share — not parallel but joint
Growing alongside a partner or friend, rather than separately, leverages the self-expansion mechanism for both people simultaneously.
Self-Expansion Model: How Relationships Grow (and Stagnate) Us - Engage generativity — the natural work of midlife and later seasons
Midlife and later seasons are calling for contribution, mentorship, and transmission — not just personal achievement.
Seasons of Life - Map the value system of your organization or team
Identify the vMEME your team or organization actually operates from, not just espouses.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Identify your current season honestly
Name the season you are actually in — not the one you want to be in or the one others expect.
