If I am not for myself who will be for me? And when only for myself, what am I? And if not now, then when?

Overview

As adults we should be on a continuous journey of development. The purpose of this chapter is to explore how our development as a leader is closely connected to our development as an adult. Knowing where we are on our adult development journey will help us understand both our own path towards transpersonal leadership, leading beyond the ego and the development needs of those we lead. This chapter provides an opportunity for further insights into others and ourselves.
