The Intentional Self-Leadership

While the first two levers of organizational Ikigai demonstrate how a shared perspective of employees can emerge through focusing on the organizational purpose and lived values, logofocal leadership, in conjunction with intentional self-leadership, establishes the individual scope of action for organization members. Intentional self-leadership focuses on the human ability for self-transcendence, which, together with self-distance, forms the “spatial” resource of the meaning-centered mindset, and strengthens individual prioritization competence. Intentional self-leadership represents an important basis for organizations, so it is considered the fourth lever of organizational Ikigai and corresponds with the aspect of “unfold” of individual Ikigai.
