LEADING DEEPLY: a HEROIC JOURNEY TOWARD WISDOM and TRANSFORMATION Prepared By LEADING DEEPLY: A HEROIC JOURNEY TOWARD WISDOM AND TRANSFORMATION RICHARD WARM A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Ph.D. in Leadership and Change Program of Antioch University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August, 2011 This is to certify that the dissertation entitled: LEADING DEEPLY: A HEROIC JOURNEY TOWARD WISDOM AND TRANSFORMATION prepared by Richard Warm is approved in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Leadership and Change. Approved by: Carolyn Kenny, Ph.D., Chair date Laura Morgan Roberts, Ph.D. , Committee Member date Jonathan Reams, Ph.D., Committee Member date Donna Ladkin, Ph.D., External Reader date Copyright 2011 Richard Warm All rights reserved Dedication I dedicate this work to my father, who even after I have studied leadership for 5 years, is still the best example and role model of a leader that I know. I miss you. And I dedicate this work to my mother, who probably does not realize that I am the writer (and cook) that I am today because of her. Thank you. Acknowledgments My very deepest gratitude goes to my teacher and guide, mentor and friend, Sword Made of Clouds, for always believing in me, always letting me at least try to do things my way, and knowing somehow everything would work out. It has been a great privilege working with you the past five years, Carolyn, and I probably would not be here without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are the best!! Also my appreciation and respect goes to Laurien, Al, and the entire faculty. My experience in this program has been much more than I imagined it would be. I also want to thank Peter Vaill for his wisdom, his insight, and without whom I would never have heard about Antioch. It’s all your fault! I want to acknowledge what a great cohort we have, cohort 6. True, we’ve had our moments, but by and large everyone was supportive, always happy to see each other, and I really do miss the regular camaraderie. A very special thank you to my “gang” and all of the love and support over the years: PS, Martha, Karen, Cami, Paul G, Naomi, our adopted C7 member April, and my pen pal Normie. I love you all! A real special thank you to all of the librarians in my life. Honestly, I couldn’t have gotten here without you! Thanks to Deb and everyone who works in the Antioch system (especially the folks at We Deliver—you rock!), and Ritch at YSO who saved me on numerous occasions. I owe a major debt of gratitude to the wonderful librarians at the Cincinnati Public Library. As of today I have over 375 books checked out, and they have always been there to help me, with a big smile, even when I dragged in bag upon bag of books to check in and check back out. Also the librarians at UC-RWC, in particular Cheri, for all of your help with the constant in and outflow of pick-up-anywhere books. i Also I would like to thank my Wyoming friends who in many ways and on numerous occasions helped me in my thinking and my work. Special thanks to the SWOB guys, Stuart and Bill. I especially appreciate your playing the devil’s advocate. Bill, thank you for all of your support over the years and especially your thoughts on practice. Jim, voice of temptation, you were convincing. I also appreciate the years of friendship. And Mike, thank you for both your interest in my work and especially your graphic help at the last minute. Finally, of course, I need to thank my family. These past years have been challenging. These past months have been especially so. To my girls, Talia and Marisa, you kept me on my toes but when push came to shove, I knew I could count on you. To my boys, Adin and Noah, you two have been so patient and kind, never a bad word to say about your largely absentee father. I hope you all know how much you mean to me. Finally, to my greatest love, my wife, Lauren. You have more patience and grace than anyone I’ve ever known. I appreciate your support more than you could ever know. I will always love you. Thank you. ii Abstract This dissertation will explore leadership as a mytho-poetic transformational journey toward self-knowledge, authenticity, and ultimately wisdom; the power to make meaning and give something back to the world in which we live; and the necessity of transformation. I view leadership as a transformative process and a transformational responsibility. As leaders we must undergo our own transformation in order to lead change on a larger scale. The dissertation will be both philosophical and theoretical, exploring how the threads of the hero’s journey, transformation, wisdom, and leadership intertwine. It will also examine the role of education in this process. Education does not necessarily mean institutional learning as it is so often taken to mean. A broader understanding of what education is and how it needs to serve us individually and as a society, particularly with the intention of developing wisdom and leadership (or wisdom in leadership) will be explored. The hero’s journey, the mytho-poetic journey toward authenticity and self-knowledge, is the golden thread that weaves itself throughout this dissertation. It is both the idea of developing leadership and wisdom as a journey (as opposed to a destination) and the idea that meaning and authenticity is ultimately what drives wisdom and leadership. These concepts manifest themselves in different ways throughout the chapters. In many ways this is a very unorthodox and unusual way to approach leadership. It asks for full engagement, participation, excellence, and mastery—a lifelong dedication. None of these concepts are new, but most of them are often unheeded or not practiced. It also focuses on the common good, an element that research in both wisdom and higher stages of consciousness share. The intent is to explore the transformational process inherent in becoming a leader and consequently leading transformation that ultimately makes the world a better place on a number of different levels—leading deeply. iii Leading deeply makes a difference through tapping into meaning and purpose. When our lives are about contribution and giving back, growth and wisdom, evolution and making the world in which we live and in which our children will live a better place, the experience of life becomes deeper, richer. Leading deeply connects us back to life, creates meaning, and helps us understand that what we are doing does matter. A leader is one who has gone through his or her own heroic and transformative journey, returning with a gift, and enabling others to do the same. The goal is development. It is directed toward growth, flourishing, higher levels of consciousness, and understanding. It is paradoxically rooted in tradition yet always embracing the change in which we live. Leading deeply takes us deeper to what is ultimately important for all of us.

  • Hollywood and the Hero
    Hollywood and the Hero: Solving a Case of Mistaken Identity by Shannan Palma English 167 Professor Lunsford 18 March 2004 SOURCE: Andrea A. Lunsford, Book Companion Site for The Everyday Writer Palma 1 Outline Thesis statement: Recent films strongly suggest that the hero of the twenty-first century will most likely appear not as a Hollywood star or a mythical manifestation but as a combination of mortal and machine--in short, a cyborg. I. Originally relying on earlier heroes from the realms of myth and history, Hollywood studios gradually developed a system for transforming actors into star- heroes. A. Moviegoers began to identify a favorite hero-character with the particular actor who played him or her. B. The studios recognized the financial possibilities of the mass idolization of a commercialized hero and set out to manufacture this “product” efficiently. 1. The persona that a studio developed to turn an actor into a star was the only public identity that actor was allowed to have. 2. Early examples of the star-hero included Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. II. As the studio system disintegrated in the 1950s and 1960s, and the stars lost the publicity shield it had provided, the problems of stardom became obvious to the public. A. Films from this period show that the movie industry was self-mockingly aware of its pitfalls. 1.Sunset Boulevard showed what happened when a hero-image was no longer popular and the system abandoned the star it had made. SOURCE: Andrea A. Lunsford, Book Companion Site for The Everyday Writer Palma 2 2.A StarStar Is Born showed how the system created a perfect image and forced a human being to become it.

Abstract The article provides an overview of descriptions of total solar eclipses in different literature forms, rites and toponyms of Slavs. It is shown that the solar eclipse had a prominent role in the worldview of the tribes. Explanations of some terms of Slavic outlook are given with suggestions for the correct terminology. A program for further investigation in Slavic and other people’s culture is proposed. Keywords: Total solar eclipse; Archeoastronomy; Mythology; Slavs; Character 'Akhet' (Figure 2) should be translated as 'eclipse' instead of Akhet; Myth of creation of the world; Myth of end of the world; 'horizon'. Then the next well-known text obtains a simple explanation. Dragon slayer; Tales During the advance of the eclipse (former translation: after sunset at the horizon) Ra joins the fight against the forces of darkness, Introduction crocodiles, snakes and so on.

Adler: Philosopher at Midday Jeffrey D. Wallin ortimer J. Adler has made an unusual number of difficult M ideas accessible to “everybody.” Perhaps that is why he has been so uncharitably dismissed as a “popular” philosopher by his critics, a good number of whom come from that narrow breed of specialists once dismissed by Nietzsche as equipped at best to study the lives of a single species of insect, say, the leech, or that being too broad, perhaps only the leech’s brain. Adler is not a spe- cialist. He speaks to broad issues, issues of importance to all of us as men and women. Even more surprising, he speaks without jar- gon, evasion or irony. Unlike the owl of Minerva, which is said to begin its flight at dusk, this is one philosopher who learns and teaches in direct sunlight. Among the most important topics Adler has shed light upon are liberal education, democracy and human nature. Adler favors all of them, by the way. And nothing could further distance him from the strongest trends in American education. * * * In early May 1994 The New York Times carried a story about a controversy raging in Lake County, Florida.

  • Freemen, Slaves?
    No. 51. FREEMEN, SLAVES? BY GEORGE W. BUNGAY. 'OU say that you are fl'ee——a free man :—-that you work with free hands and walk with ii-ee feet; that you are the master of your own bones and brains; that you can think your own thoughts and put your thoughts into words and deeds; that you can go from place to place without a pass. You can work or play. You can earn money and spend it or save it. You can learn how to read and write, or you can remain ignorant of the use of letters. You can be a good sober man, or you can become a poor, miserable drunkard. Now there is more than one kind of slavery, and the man who is a drunkard, whether he be black or white, is a slave, and habit-the habit of drinkin.g—,is his master. It is a cruel master, for it takes his wages from him, and does not give him bread to eat nor clothes I0 wear in re turn for the monpy. He spends his money for rum, or gin, or brandy, or wine, or beer. and gets a. pain in the head or a bad feeling in the stomach for it. The drink does not make him smarter ncr stronger than he was before he drank it. I-Ie may feel wise and strong for a short time after drivking,_ but it merely excites him as the whip and the spur excite the horse. A horse will go fast when you whip him and spur him, but whips and spurs will not make him fat and strong.
