The Transpersonal (Spiritual) Journey Towards Leadership Excellence: Using 8ICOL™
Travelling from ego based Leadership to Transpersonal Leadership where the focus is beyond the ego to the needs of ALL the stakeholders of the organisation, each given appropriate priorities.
The Spiritual essence of leadership is defined as 'Personal Conscience' plus 'Self Determination'.
Transpersonal Leadership is about the development of a leader beyond their personal ego in the areas of Personal Conscience and Self Determination. These two competencies are the most advanced personal characteristics to be attained in LeaderShape’s 8ICOL™ model which provides the path for the journey towards leadership excellence. We like to be very careful about using the terms “Spiritual” and “Spiritual Intelligence” as we wish to avoid any suggestion of mysticism, magic or religion in our programmes.
LeaderShape’s '8 Integrated Competencies of Leadership' (8ICOL™) Model.
The 8ICOL™ Model has been developed to provide a complete journey towards transpersonal leadership excellence. 8ICOL™ can be used to assess progress along the journey and to identify strengths and development needs. It is a model that integrates Rational Intelligence (IQ), Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Spiritual Intelligence (SI) together with Personal Preferences (PP). The model contains 8 prime competencies, comprising of 76 sub-competencies which in turn is made up of 316 statements to define leadership excellence. Like LeaderShape’s ground-breaking LEIPA™ assessment tool for emotional intelligence and leadership styles, it measures the difference between observed and desired behaviours and attitudes in a specific context.
