What are your favorite insights from Spiral Dynamics?

[LordFall]

I run a few masterminds on politics and business and the topic of wokeism came up and then I took that opportunity to explain flaws of Stage green and how it has to evolve to Stage yellow to have a powerful impact on society. People seemed to have interest in it so I'm thinking about running a mastermind call around an hour on spiral dynamics. Gonna review a few of Leo's videos but I'm curious what you guys individually like best about the model and what's the most useful insights around it. I wanna make it as non boring and direct as possible so people are encouraged to research it more and understand it.

There's little chance anyone in your mastermind is ready for that conversation.

Most people cannot even appreciate Green, let alone understand what it gets wrong and how to go beyond it.

In fact, that's maybe the most important lesson from spiral dynamics: don't get ahead of your skis. Walk before you run, developmentally speaking.

I would like to believe that through sufficient understanding and great communication skills, I would be able to give insights and value from the model to most people. That is the purpose of spiral wizardry right?

What are your favorite parts from the model and how would you communicate them?

The purpose of spiral wizardry is to meet people where they are at, developmentally speaking. 

Your group is likely not a bunch of Green progressives that need to be educated on the limitations of Green. They will just use whatever you say to reinforce their dislike for Green.

So no, you would be doing the opposite of spiral wizardry.

If you're just doing an hour call, I'd say your best bet is just to give a broad overview of the model. Here are all the stages, here are the pros and cons of all of them, and here is how someone transitions from each stage. 

Basically, just make them aware that stage theory / developmental psychology even exists. That's about all you are really going to be able to accomplish.

If people are into it, maybe you can have future meetings where you discuss things further.

The insight began when I realised it's not enough. And it's not an excuse to ignore the beauty in everyone. 

I hope nobody reads this.

I just like that it puts everything into an impersonal perspective.

Like a trump supporter is just where he is at.
