Problems with existing

leadership theory and practice Leadership is not only a great man or a great

woman theory; charisma both positive and negative Not only a set of psychological traits, innate or acquired Not only leader but leadership : leadership as a

developmental relationship in a specific context Not transactional transformational, but transforming Not status, fame and power, but example and trust Not leader-follower but leader-non-leader dialectics Differences between dictatorship, rulership,

leadership and I-leadership : Hitler as dictator Not vision, great deeds, but vocation Not only behaviors, competencies, values, etc., but

expression in four quadrants and differentdevelopmental levels (Ken Wilbers framework)
