Description:
The concept of Transpersonal leadership derives from the work of LeaderShape global and particularly of John Knight. The core idea is that, today, “successful leaders recognise that leadership has moved on from being authoritative, hierarchical and pace-setting to becoming a distributed leadership underpinned by an ethical, caring, sustainable and performance enhancing culture. Only Transpersonal Leaders who are themselves emotionally intelligent, ethical, caring, authentic and lead beyond their ego can enable and maintain this kind of culture.” The concept is particularly analysed in the book Leading beyond the ego. How to Become a Transpersonal Leader (Knights, Grant and Young, 2018), which goes in-depth in illustrating the model.
The model is about balancing three different types of intelligence (and thus individual capabilities). Rational, Spiritual and Emotional. The sweet spot of Transpersonal Leadership means that the Leader is at the same capable of enhancing performance, ethical, but also caring and thinking in sustainability terms.
