‘Great leaders, wherever they are in an organization, ask themselves: How do I inspire my team or organization to work in unison?’
‘To achieve success- you must live a life of meaning and purpose. You must pursue significance, self-actualization, and self-transcendence- not just for you but also for everybody who works for you.’
‘Transcendent leadersship relies on the inspirational power of nonmaterial incentives- employees’ personal sense of meaning, achievement, and self-esteem, as well as shared values and ethics, and their desire to belong to a community.’
‘Transcendent leadership dissolves the hardest organizational problems in a liquid mix of significance, nobility, virtue, and solidarity.’
‘Leaders must find their true selves through a ‘hero’s journey’ and share their hard- earned personal awareness with others, with humility, wisdom, and compassion.’
‘Leadership emerges from our human need to make our lives meaningful.’
‘Humans are social beings, which is why solidarity is so fundamental to long-term business success.’
Interpersonal success is required for survival. If people do not cooporate and respect one another, the organization will fail.’
‘Engagement requires commitment. It can arise only from an emotional exchange.’
‘Leadership is about getting what can’t be taken, and deserving what is freely given.’
