9Spiral Dynamics in Action Across Boundaries

Introduction

In this chapter, different Spiral applications as they manifest on diverse spheres are presented. Spiral Dynamics is a secular, a sacred and a scientific theory, Beck (2017) explains. In a very fundamental way, triangulation occurs. The theory has wide-ranging applications and far-reaching implications. In Figure 9.1 the Humpty Dumpty effect that we discussed earlier is physically displayed.

Figure 9.1 Habits of old king's horses and men.

The habits of the old king's horses and men with First-Tier codes create a chaotic mess (Figure 9.1). All of these efforts have good ideas but reflect different and often contradictory world views. They may even cancel out or negate the efforts of the shareholders. It creates a greater MESS. Efforts are isolated, ad hoc and fragmented. The applications below illustrate that there is a different way – a Second-Tier way. This is a way that can integrate the various efforts into a functional, integrated flow.

Figure 9.1 clearly shows that Spiral Dynamics codes play out in different parts of the society. In this chapter each of the following aspects are presented:

  • Religion
  • Millennials
  • Politics and Economics
  • Communication
  • Foundational Stones
  • Motivation
  • Foundations
  • Art
  • Sport
  • Leadership development in Russia.
