The Ladder At Leadership Toward Transpersonal Leadership

The Ladder to Leadership: Toward Transpersonal Leadership Writing about leadership is a challenge. It is a challenge that sets us in a difficult situation. Why? Because most people talk and know, or believe to know, about leadership. We must, or better, we need to admit that one of the biggest problems to describe Transpersonal Leadership and The Ladder to Leadership was to write the first paragraph. We debated among several beliefs: the meaning of leadership, are leaders born or do they learn to be? Should Hitler and Jesus Christ be considered, similarly, leaders? These issues brought to our minds philosophical and practical contradictions. It was like saying that apples and pears belong to the same tree. Writing about leadership, in the first paragraph, was the result of the free flow, without directionality, of our conscious. However, we found that this conscious’ free flowing was desirable, especially because it helped us to understand what is leadership about, and what experiences we needed to consider to make leadership in the next paragraphs easily comprehensible. We understood that there is not no-directionality. We found that the no directionality has to do with an adductive process, which, in our minds, moved us to confront amazing, and sometimes illogical events related to leadership, with day to day - local and international, personally or vicariously perceived - events that leaders have starred, or are starring.
