ON THE ORGANIZATION OF I-I AND SUCH:
Totally agree with your diagnosis of the ills of I-I. It is completely an administrative problem in my estimation. Ken should have handed the reins over from the get go to someone who had excellent administrative/management skills. Ken obviously does not.

The reason Ken got into such a mess has to do with what I call the 'Michael Jordan Complex.' It largely has to do with so many people raving about you, going on and on and about how great you are in terms of your natural gift (for Mike, it was basketball... for Ken... it is philosophy and writing). The danger... as you can probably surmise... comes in assuming that this greatness/genuis is naturally translated into other domains (for Mike, baseball... for Ken, organizational leadership).
That assumption of course is totally bogus. Mike pretty much failed at baseball and Ken is a failure as an administrator. The sooner one is able to realize this the quicker that one can get back to doing what one was getting all the 'raves' for in the first place!!
Greatness in one domain does not eqaute with greatness in other domains, does it? This may be an unavoidable pitfall of integral theory: the assumption that we can be 'great' in all domains, equally. Maybe we have un-developed lines for a reason Matthew? Maybe our lack of development in one area is a conspiracy for genuis... not against it!
