Fred Kofmans approach to leadership has little to do with the standard practices taught in business school and traditional books. Bringing together economics and business theory  communications and conflict resolution  family counseling and mindfulness mediation  Kofman argues in The Meaning Revolution that our most deep-seated  unspoken  and universal anxiety stems from our fear that our life is being wasted--that the end of life will overtake us when our song is still unsung. Material incentives--salary and benefits--account for perhaps 15 percent of employees motivation at work. The other 85 percent is driven by a need to belong  a feeling that what we do day in and day out makes a difference  that how we spend our time on earth serves a larger purpose beyond just ourselves.  Kofman claims that transcendental leaders  wherever they are in the hierarchy  are able to put aside their self-interests and help others to feel connected with others on a team or in an organization on a great mission and part of an ennobling purpose. He argues that every organization involved in work that is nonviolent and non addictive has what he calls an \"immortality project\" at its core. And the challenge for leaders is to identify and expand on that core  to inspire all stakeholders to take part.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984039768117,"sku":"ByrdShop_1524760730","price":27.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781524760731.jpg?v=1770819558","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-meaning-revolution-the-power-of-transcendent-leadership","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
