Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- 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’m behaving in ways that aren’t like me
- 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 making what feels to me like an obviously compelling case and watching it bounce right off this person
- Some environments light me up and others drain me for reasons I can’t articulate, and I keep clashing with people who supposedly want the same things I do
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. - Develop second-tier, systems-level thinking
Practice holding multiple value systems as simultaneously valid rather than competing for dominance.
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 - 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 - Communicate across value-system differences
Translate your message into the motivational language of the person you’re trying to reach.
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 - Map the value system of your organization or team
Identify the vMEME your team or organization actually operates from, not just espouses.
