I believe that one of the most valuable outcomes of leadership is human transcendence. In these cultures, where the leadership playbook has been democratised, leadership missteps become rare. When leaders focus on human transcendence, energy shifts from being transactional to being benevolent. At this point, some may think that the transcendent leadership picture I am painting belongs to a state of nirvana or in a zone of impossibility. Not being overwhelmed by life means that inevitably, when challenges arise, there is no collapsing.
