What is Self-Transcendent Leadership?
Self-Transcendence is the ability to lead from beyond our constant self-occupation. That does not mean that we have to become self-less. It does mean this however: All great leadership requires us to connect deeply with something that is larger than ourselves.

Developing deep and authentic relationships, based on care for each other. Giving back to society in ways that feel meaningful and fulfilling.
