ABSTRACT
This chapter explores individual evolving in stages – entrepreneur, manager, leader, to integrator. It focuses on organization evolving in stages – pioneering, differentiation, integration. The chapter also focuses on the evolution of enterprise and entrepreneurship, towards management, leadership and thereafter integration, in theory if not altogether in practice. Moreover, most significantly, ultimate integration, and the integrator to go with it, transcends the very notion of an enterprise, organization or indeed leader. In the 1970s and 1980s, a new breed of business academic emerged, with a view to taking management theory, and practice, onto a next level of its evolution, leadership at that point not having assumed its current-day dominance. What was missing until then, in individual person, was the notion of an integrator, serving to align the spectral and the integral, individually and institutionally, via thereby integration, in a particular part of the world, in specific relation to other worlds.
