"An inspiring and practical 'how to' guide to leading by example
and from the heart in a complex world."Mike Attwood, Leadership
Development Associate at the Florence Nightingale Foundation"I am
absolutely convinced that leaders must embrace transpersonal action
to enable thriving in and out of work – we must urgently put our
egos in place and be radical, ethical, authentic and emotionally
intelligent in as many contexts as possible".Dr Tony Wall,
Professor of Transformational Management & Learning and Head of the
International Centre for Thriving, UK"A global pandemic changed the
way millions of people want to work and the leaders with whom they
choose to serve. Transpersonal Leadership in Action is a must-read
for those who lead and those who aspire to be leaders. The
transpersonal leader is radical, ethical, authentic, emotionally
intelligent, and willing to check their ego at the door to think
beyond the narrow self. This book is a trusted guide to coach you
on your leadership journey as you navigate the realities of digital
transformation and change, honorable diversity, equity, and
inclusion practices, and the unexpected crisis that will test your
limits and impact your company culture. Learn to perform with
purpose, hone your empathy, and develop others to create the
virtuous cycle of doing well and doing good." Caroline
Dowd-Higgins, Vice President Career Coaching and Employer
Connections Ivy Tech Community College, Indiana, USA"In my business
experience, unfortunately, I believe not every leader aspires to be
a radical, ethical, authentic leader who is emotionally
intelligent. Maybe because it is hard work. Maybe some of these
same folks simply don't know how to become that kind of leader.
Transpersonal Leadership in Action may not change your desire to be
a transpersonal leader, however it can and will change your ability
to become the leader the business world, actually our entire world,
needs now."Marty Wolff, Founder Partner in Contractor Succession,
Scranton, PA, USA"Finally, the "Work Of Art" I have waited four
decades to find! My heart rate increased as I mined each valuable
chapter to extract every ounce of knowledge, experience and
relevance for today's rapidly evolving world. It brings values,
ethics and beliefs into full consciousness and perfectly describes
the ecosystem for leadership insights, education and resources, in
a planet that is crying out for our collective care, attention and
authentic transparency. I read it so fast I now want to read it
again, to truly digest the golden thread that connects the latest
thinking in Leadership and behaviour, to our emerging generations
who will accept nothing less in the future. Thank you
Leadershape!After 18 months of surreal survival through the
pandemic, this was worth waiting for! This rich and insightful
publication has truly inspired me, by beautifully connecting the
dots of all that I have invested in, through my learning,
experience and education over the past 40 years. Combining powerful
research, history and the latest thinking in authentic Leadership,
this becomes the guide to living, leading and loving your life at
work and at home. This paves the way for our children and
grandchildren to live in a world where kindness, caring and
Inclusivity is the starting point and not the destination." Peter
Collyer, Chief People Officer, Ted Baker, London, UK"Leadership is
one of those topics that has kept mankind talking, predating even
Machiavelli’s Il Prince. It is extensively being discussed, taught
and coached. But the starting point should by: why? Leadership in
itself is not good thing. A lot of leadership is negative,
intentionally or unintentionally - and sadly has proven itself in
history to be sometimes very bad. Like negative entrepreneurship
tends to be driven by financial greed or revenge, negative
leadership tends to be driven by power greed and vanity. So the
starting point is about a critical assessment of motivation: what
do we want to achieve through leadership. Trans-personal leadership
helps to formulate some powerful answers to that question.The next
question is about how to be good at it and how to ensure that one
gets continuously better at it. Social skills, communication skills
and analytical skills are at the core of all successful leadership
and reflective learning is at the hard of leadership development
rather than just copying and applying some basic tricks. This is
where we go to the next level. Where transpersonal leadership is
concerned, the cultural context is crucial. And this is the biggest
challenge in exercising leadership: knowing when to apply what
‘tool’ for what purpose. Especially in transpersonal leadership
this varies enormously per cultural context, per situation, per
person. And where we recognise the imperative of diversity and the
reality of globalisation, this raises the stakes significantly when
it comes to effective leadership.Transpersonal leadership embraces
these complexities and turns them from the classic challenges into
the classic opportunities. It gives a whole new meaning to what
actually is ‘good leadership’."Maurits Van Rooijen, Chief Academic
Officer, Global University Systems, London, UK"As a trust
researcher for 20 years now I have seen little progress in our
organizations towards creating a trust climate or nurturing
employee trust in a more sincere manner. One main reason is that
"trust building is hard, though it is often touted to be a soft
factor". Trust needs character – we place our trust in caring,
truthful humans who follow a moral compass. And trust needs
trusting – for trust to grow we need to "just do it", to accept
vulnerability, to put ourselves at the mercy of other human beings.
It is my hope that a leadership journey towards the transpersonal
leader, who embodies and enacts precisely what is needed to build
and preserve trust (as a daily practice), will also change our
organizations from suspicious and alienating human resource
"managing" machines to flourishing and trustful collaborative
communities. "Transpersonal Leadership in Action" brings together a
number of enlightening approaches to assist leaders on this journey
towards becoming the better versions of themselves – much needed,
much appreciated. Prof. Dr. Antoinette Weibel, University of St
Gallen, Switzerland
