Practices — Integrating the Foundations — Leading the Field examination

Eleven questions. Nine of eleven passes, and you can take it again as often as you like.

What are the three categories of practice in the Luminous practice architecture?

Foundation, Development and Integration practices Morning, Midday and Evening practices Somatic, Cognitive and Spiritual practices Individual, Team and Organisational practices
The module compares Foundation Practices to what?

Scales for a musician or stretching for an athlete A holiday taken to recover from a demanding year A final examination at the end of a long course An annual health check-up with one's physician
What distinguishes Integration Practices from the other two categories?

They may only be attempted once the other two are mastered They require a dedicated weekly retreat lasting several hours They are done within your actual work and need no additional time They are always done with a coach rather than on one's own
Why does the module call the architecture's design a form of genius?

It guarantees measurable, reportable results within the first week of use It allows the whole programme to be delegated to an executive assistant It removes the need for any kind of daily practice from a leader's routine once the first month is complete It builds capacity without adding a major time commitment to an overloaded schedule
When is the Daily Foundation Sequence designed to be done?

First thing in the morning, before the day's activities begin Last thing at night, as a way to process the day's events During lunch, as a reset between morning and afternoon meetings Only on days that include a high-stakes presentation
What does the weekly Integral Scan apply to a current leadership challenge?

A ranking of every team member by recent performance and potential A financial risk model covering the next two quarters of trading, stress-tested against several scenarios The four-quadrant framework — interior and exterior, individual and collective A prioritised list of the leader's top five personal values
In the Integral Scan, the question 'What would a video camera capture?' belongs to which quadrant?

Lower Right Upper Right Lower Left Upper Left
After mapping the four quadrants, what does the module say the executive mind tends to gravitate toward?

The Upper Left and Lower Left — feelings and culture The Upper Left alone — private personal experience The Lower Left alone — the shared field of the group The Upper Right and Lower Right — behaviours and systems
A leader has one minute before a difficult one-on-one. Which practice does the module offer for this moment?

The Daily Foundation Sequence: fifteen minutes of morning practice The Integral Scan: journal through each of the four quadrants in turn A values-ranking exercise to clarify what matters most right now The Presence Protocol: ground, breathe, sense, check in, attune, intend
In the Presence Protocol, what happens in the 'Check In' step?

Asking the other person how they are feeling before the meeting starts Reviewing the meeting agenda and one's talking points one more time Noticing which parts are active, acknowledging them and returning to Self Checking messages so that nothing urgent is missed during the meeting
What does the module call the Presence Protocol's role in the overall architecture?

A replacement for the morning foundation sequence, to be used on days that are especially busy or pressured The bridge between practice and leadership, making capacities available when they matter An advanced technique reserved for practitioners with several years' experience A way to display visible calm that impresses colleagues and stakeholders
