Abstract

No one is born a leader. A leader is someone you become: not in the same way you become an engineer, a businessman, a dentist, or a doctor. It is a role you grow into. Some people naturally grow into leadership roles; some go all out to seek a leadership role, and others have leadership thrust upon them. Some, like me, choose not to be a leader of people but a leader of thoughts. Whatever the case, the journey to becoming a successful leader is the same; there are seven stages of psychological development you must master to become a great leader. If you fail to master a particular stage, you will not become a great leader. You may become a good leader or a recognized leader, but you will not be remembered as a great leader. Becoming a great leader is the journey of evolutionary leadership through ego development to soul activation.
