Book description

How can leaders promote diversity, equality and inclusion? What does it mean to let go of leadership? How do learning, feedback and coaching help us become better leaders?

Following the success of Leading Beyond the Ego, this book shows how to apply transpersonal leadership – practiced leaders who are radical, ethical, authentic and act beyond their own interests to create high-performing organisations – in a wide range of contexts. It considers the attributes of transpersonal leaders and how they transform organisations by building strong, collaborative relationships and a caring, sustainable and performance-enhancing environment.

Shining a light on the way forward for senior leaders and HR and talent professionals, the book covers:

  • Characteristics of transpersonal leaders such as purpose, ethics and adult development

  • Impact of transpersonal leaders on global organisations, during digital transformation and change and through crises

  • Case studies of transpersonal leadership in different contexts including in India and East Asia, when leading remotely, in HR and politics

Transpersonal Leadership in Action is essential reading for senior leaders, HR professionals and those responsible for leader and organisational development.
