Abstract
There is an urgent need and a growing desire for a serious transformation in our workplace. However, this must be preceded by a personal transformation of our ego-based mental consciousness which by its self-limiting nature inhibits any real ethically sound changes. In this chapter, the author, who was the CEO of several major corporations, promotes a practical, integral approach which incorporates the tenets of several philosophies, including Depth Psychology, assisting us toward the psychological and spiritual maturity necessary for increasing our awareness. During this process, we diminish the limitations of our ego-consciousness and expand the horizons of our holistic consciousness. This will empower us to be leaders in effecting change in our professional lives.
