""Unlike many who profess to grasp Spiral Dynamics or the Integral perspective, Peter Merry is breaking the codes of the spiral itself and is uniquely able to make this knowledge understandable and applicable. He roams freely between rich conceptual insights and the capacity to mobilize others to focus on practical problems in our complex and chaotic worlds. Evolutionary Leadership meshes insights from cutting-edge research while surfing the froth of transformational change. This is a must read for those who are struggling to identify and connect more of the dots.""-Dr. Don Beck, coauthor, Spiral Dynamics""We need leadership that moves our world beyond the status quo, for the status quo is not tenable-the essence of 'unsustainability.' This means that we need evolutionary leadership. Peter Merry's book gives the gist of why we need it and, above all, what we can do about it: how we can become a responsible 'evolutionary leader.' Recommended reading for everyone seeking to be a responsible, aware, and modest but true leader.""-Prof. Ervin Laszlo, physicist, author Science and the Akashic Field""I find this a wonderful book and recognised a lot in it, as well as learned a lot from it. It is a great synthesis of what leading thinkers such as Wilber, Beck and Cohen have developed over the last years, all with a personal flavour. That in itself would be a worthy publication. But you also identify the consequences of this perspective in what I see as a new way, and take it to a practical level for individuals as well as for organisations. Theory and practice in one, and short and succinct at that. Good work!""-Herman Wijffels, retired, former Dutch Director of the World Bank, chair of the Dutch Social and Economic Council and CEO of Rabobank""Practice is the best teacher for what Peter Merry addresses in his book Evolutionary Leadership. To apply what you unconditionally believe in with great care for all involved is a first step towards sustainable engagement, belief and motivation. In IBM (Netherlands) we are applying Peter Merry's ideas with success. We are creating an environment where mutual trust forms the basis for transformation and within which new insights can be carried and applied in an integral approach. Surprising new forms of cooperation are emerging which create space for everyone's contribution. It takes time, but is contributing in all aspects to the satisfaction of employees and clients, and therefore also to increased turnover. And most importantly it brings joy back into the workplace. The experiences that we have had so far with Peter Merry and Evolutionary Leadership ask for more.""-Marianne de Jager, IBM BeNeLux n.v., Business Consultant, and René van den Berg, IBM Nederland n.v., Business Manager Business Continuity & Recovery Services
