Those that recognise this and learn how to lead beyond their ego will become emotionally intelligent and ethical leaders who are able to build strong, collaborative relationships, and create a caring, sustainable and performance enhancing environment. This new book is rooted in the experience of senior managers and the latest discoveries in neuroscience.

I truly recommend this book to every Leader who genuinely strives to unleash the power of authentic leadership and who is courageous enough to start this exiting journey by looking at themselves. When reading the book, everything seems so obvious, but then again, this always tends to be the case with masterpieces.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cstrong\u003eSandro Giuliani\u003c\/strong\u003e, Managing Director of the Jacobs Foundation, Switzerland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book is packed with new thinking and yet resonates easily as if I had always known it! Since the values and ethics spotlight on the City of London after 2008, we have been looking to identify behaviours, which when championed by motivated and engaged leaders, could change culture and make capitalism more inclusive. My focus has been on capturing the benefits of diversity where leaders have expressed frustration at the slow progress. The essences and steps to Transpersonal Leadership in this book link leadership for the ‘greater good’ to enabling others to do the right thing, increasing performance, productivity and profitability. It is key to unleashing the power of diversity and rising to many of the challenges that society faces.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e – \u003cb\u003eDame Fiona Woolf DBE\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eDL\u003c\/b\u003e, Lord Mayor of London 2013-14; Partner at CMS Cameron McKenna, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"It’s not hard to see, in business and society, how the old model of an ego driven, charismatic leader has failed. I recommend this book as required reading for anyone who wants to develop as a leader – and who wants to make a positive difference to the world.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e – \u003cb\u003eNatalie Ceeney CBE,\u003c\/b\u003e former CEO of the Financial Ombudsman Service, National Archives and HM Courts \u0026amp; Tribunals Service, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"People who talk and write about leadership fall into two groups. Firstly, there are people who are good at doing it and often they are inarticulate, shrugging their shoulders and just saying well ‘we just did it this way’ and usually, they are impatient to analyse why they did it in a particular way because they are keen to get on to the next leadership challenge. At the other end of the spectrum, there are people who write, at length. The LeaderShape team has an enviable reputation at both ends of this spectrum, with deep understanding of the theory, their own particular variant of the theory of leadership, but also very many examples where they have helped individuals and organisations put the theory into practice. This book is an excellent introduction to the highly complex and often confusing field of leadership.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cb\u003eProfessor Sir Muir Gray\u003c\/b\u003e, Director of Better Value Healthcare; Chief Knowledge Officer of the NHS; Professor of Knowledge Management, Oxford University, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Leadership in the modern age is more challenging than ever before, with more uncertainty, change and disruption across many dimensions. The idea of transpersonal leadership with its heart in the notions of humility, learning, and caring is ultimately a very human centred model of leadership and has never had more relevance in helping leaders get the best out of themselves, their people and their organisations. John Knights and his team at LeaderShape have been a positive force for change, and this book provides a fantastic guide for leaders at all levels to improve themselves and their leadership focus.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cb\u003ePeter Cheese\u003c\/b\u003e, CEO at Chartered Institute of Personnel \u0026amp; Development (CIPD), UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book articulates leadership in all its fascinating and rich dimensions in the most relevant, holistic, integrated and practical way that I have come across. John Knights and the LeaderShape team must be congratulated and thanked for an excellent and very valuable piece of work. Leading beyond the ego as presented and explained in the book, brings with it the fundamental focus on relationships as the field of leadership. The book presents a timely emphasis on the 'how' of becoming a more values-based leader. Lastly, science, philosophy and practical 21st Century experience is very well balanced in the argument for transpersonal leadership.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cb\u003eDr Gerhard van Rensburg\u003c\/b\u003e, Chairman of Future Leaders Development; Director of Future Leaders Africa, South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Scholars, students, or practitioners of leadership will benefit from this impressive book that traverses multiple disciplines and challenges us to design values-driven pathways for leading ourselves, before leading others. An important contribution to the HOW of leadership, this book ‘connects the dots’ from multiple perspectives including neuroscience, servant leadership, experiential learning, and action learning. As a leadership educator for over 35 years I was challenged to reflect deeper and analyze more about my own leadership journey and effective ways to contribute to the greater whole. Through new and existing concepts and case studies, this is a fine blueprint for sustainable leadership practices.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cb\u003eDr Ronald J.

The way transpersonal leadership has been defined in the book, as the overlap between Rational Intelligence (RI), Emotional Intelligence (EI), and Spiritual Intelligence (SI), is particularly valuable. The authors not only explain what it means to be a transpersonal leader, but also describe how to become one. A must read for every aspiring leader, who is looking to create an emotionally-bonded, ethical, high-performing and sustainable organization.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cb\u003eWarren Harris\u003c\/b\u003e, CEO at Tata Technologies, USA \u0026amp; India\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"While the entire journey covered in the book is impressive, I found the use of a combination of intuition, instinct, insight and ethical philosophy to support rational logic particularly interesting and immensely powerful for improving judgment and decision making. The case studies are very insightful and support the concepts effectively. The concepts are straight forward to learn and can be easily put into practice. Constant practice will undoubtedly yield the desired results. \u003ci\u003eLeading Beyond the Ego\u003c\/i\u003e is a manual for creating sustained leadership in the challenging environment of rapid change.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cb\u003eVishnu R Dusad\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eMD\u003c\/b\u003e, CEO at Nucleus Software, India\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Although you may or may not agree with all of the many conceptual models and conclusions in this densely packed short volume that links emotional intelligence and neuroscience with practical approaches to leadership from a transpersonal vantage, it is sure to be thought provoking.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cb\u003eProfessor Harris Friedman, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e, Research Professor of Psychology, University of Florida; Editor of the \u003ci\u003eInternational Journal of Transpersonal Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eLeading Beyond the Ego's\u003c\/em\u003e three co-authors offer a variety of approaches to advancing good leadership, from learning how intellectual, especially brain physiology, emotional and spiritual intelligence can be combined and raised to create what they call \"transpersonal leadership.\" We know that the personality and ethics of the leader determines the personality and ethics of the organization, and the book shows with powerful examples and quick questions how companies can alter their leadership style to reach different objective.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cb\u003eBlue Heron Journal \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of figures List of tables List of contributors Acknowledgements\u003c\/em\u003e Chapter One:The background to this book\u003cb\u003e PART 1: THE INTERMEDIATE JOURNEY OF THE TRANSPERSONAL LEADER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Two: Introduction of Part 1, \"The intermediate journey\"\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Three: Understanding leadership\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Four: The neuroscience of leadership: default and emotions\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Five: Increasing self-awareness\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Six: Understanding emotions and how to deal with them\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Seven: The power of emotional intelligence (managing emotions)\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Eight: Using different leadership styles\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Nine: Coaching style of leadership\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Ten: Creating a performance-enhancing culture\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Eleven: Identifying strengths and improving development areas\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 2: THE ADVANCED JOURNEY OF THE TRANSPERSONAL LEADER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Twelve: Introduction of Part 2, \"The advanced journey\"\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Thirteen: The Eight Integrated Competencies of Leadership (8ICOL®)\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Fourteen: The neuroscience of consciousness and how it applies to leadership\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Fifteen: Beyond the ego: working for all stakeholders\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Sixteen: Improving judgement and decision-making\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Seventeen: The values of leadership: personal conscience and self-determination Chapter Eighteen: Managing diversity Chapter Nineteen: The inner development of a Transpersonal Leader Chapter Twenty: Choice and for the greater good\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Twenty-One: Continuous personal development\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 3: IMPLEMENTATION OF TRANSPERSONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eChapter Twenty-Two: Modern learning principles and methodologies Chapter Twenty-Three: Infusing ethics in leadership learning and development \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49083843641687,"sku":"9781138897694","price":35.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/leading-beyond-the-ego-9781138897694","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
