ABSTRACT

Building on the concept of Transpersonal Leadership, Leading Beyond the Ego offers a practical approach to becoming an authentic, ethical, caring and more effective leader.

Rooted in the experience of senior organisational leaders and mentors, readers embark on a personal journey to innovate and enhance their leadership skills. Reflections are rooted in recent advances in neuroscience and acknowledge the challenges faced by leaders in light of new organisational and commercial structures, in a volatile and uncertain world. The reader is supported to transcend individual ego to develop beyond emotional intelligence to a higher level of consciousness and ethical behaviour; able to build strong, collaborative relationships and to create a caring, sustainable and performance-enhancing culture.

Emboldened by the changing world and inspired by leaders around us, this new edition is enriched by new chapters on leading with purpose; managing (and benefitting from) diversity; health, resilience and well-being; sustainable leadership; and leading in complex adaptive systems. Every other chapter has been thoroughly updated and upgraded in the light of experience and feedback from readers, including a new section in key chapters challenging readers to put theory into practice.

Learn how to lead beyond the ego! An essential manual for current and aspiring organisational leaders, HR professionals, executive coaches and mentors, Leading Beyond the Ego is a vital reference source for anyone in a position of leadership.
