Leading From Within - Integral Leadership for Sustainable Development in West Africa

This 27min video explores IWB partner One Sky's integral leadership program in Nigeria, entitled Leading From Within. Thirty participants explore issues like HIV/AIDS, climate change, rainforest conservation, governance, widow's rights and youth empowerment in the context of leadership development. The three-year program was designed with an integral approach in terms of curriculum, pedagogy, coaching, and program design. The video may be of particular interest to development practitioners interested in integral theory and psycho-social models of leadership development, however it does not require prior knowledge of the integral model. Includes scenes of village life in Nigeria, including ceremonies with chiefs and traditional songs with women, and also gives the viewer a felt-sense of how the Nigerian leaders in One Sky's program are making sustainable changes throughout the South-East corner of this country. Note to educators: this would be an excellent resource for university, college or even high school students.
