Spiral Wizardry is an emerging style of leadership being born from the alchemy of Spiral Dynamics and Co-Active magic. Spiral Wizards are magicians of evolutionary transformation, who use their powers to help unfold the emergence of global consciousness. They apply Co-Active skills guided by the Spiral Dynamics model to manifest transformation of consciousness in individuals, cultures and social systems in ways that can appear magical to the uninitiated.

Spiral Wizards view the world through the evolutionary model of Spiral Dynamics. This model points to the underlying harmony within the apparent chaos of today’s world. It gives Spiral Wizards a framework for skillful leadership choices. By identifying the natural evolutionary currents, Spiral Wizards can see “tipping-points” where small changes can work in alignment with the natural forces of evolution to generate transformation.

Here is what the book “Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership and Change” (from whence the name comes) has to say about Spiral Wizards:

“Spiral Wizards instinctively roam over vast landscapes seeing patterns and connections others do not notice because their old paradigm, "first tier" filters do not allow them to. They can move through the spine of the Spiral awakening, unblocking, empowering or repairing each of the vmemes (genetic or cultural codes) of an organization. Such a Wizard appreciates chaos and thinks more like a creative designer than a reengineer. The process links functions, people and ideas into new, more natural flows that add precision, flexibility, rapid response, humanity and fun to getting the work done. That is the power of new paradigm "second tier" thinking, to constantly survey the whole while tinkering expertly with the parts. Monitoring the full Spiral is especially vital during periods of large-scale turbulence and change, like right now.”

As they see what is “wanting to happen” in this way, Spiral Wizards apply their Co-Active communications skills more effectively. The principles of Fulfillment, Balance and Process used to lead change in individuals become keys to magically unlocking corresponding change in groups and larger social systems.

If you are a professional change agent (such as a coach, consultant or trainer) and are called to have a bigger impact in the world, to “be the change”, then the “Foundations for Spiral Wizardry” program is for you.
