We describe the second mode of dialectical thinking that we call process thinking, which in essence views entities as always being in motion. We illustrate process thinking with reference to a natural weather phenomenon, a cyclone, and then to a conceptual entity, Robert Kegan’s spiral model of adult development. We then give examples of three levels of process thinking. We conclude with a series of generic “mind-opening” questions designed to encourage process thinking.
