Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There’s a constant low-grade friction between me and the place I work that I can’t name
- I keep making what feels to me like an obviously compelling case and watching it bounce right off this person
- The very drive I’m proud of
- I’m behaving in ways that aren’t like me
- 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
Practices that may help
- 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. - 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 - Communicate across value-system differences
Translate your message into the motivational language of the person you’re trying to reach.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Distinguish healthy from unhealthy expressions of each level
Every vMEME has a healthy and a pathological form — know which you’re expressing.
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 - Develop second-tier, systems-level thinking
Practice holding multiple value systems as simultaneously valid rather than competing for dominance.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - 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 - Identify your center of gravity on the spiral
Find the value system that currently organizes most of your daily behavior and motivation.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Identify the reinforcing and balancing loops
Find whether behavior is driven by amplification (R loops) or by correction toward a goal (B loops).
Systems Thinking - Brief cold exposure
Cold water on the face or a short cold shower to trigger a parasympathetic shift.
