Every leader goes through passages, significant or even transformative personal and professional life experiences. Some passages are positive; others are upsetting, even damaging. For an organization, learning how to help a leader - or potential leader - negotiate these passages will deliver lasting and satisfying benefits. As this author states, it will help an organization better recruit, measure and develop people to become leaders of others.
