M.Phil. / The hypothesis of the research essay was that people experience a lack of meaning or purpose in their lives. The general aim of this research essay was to define why self-transcendence is an important component in a balanced person's life and how it can contribute to adding meaning to a person's life. The contribution of Personal and Professional Leadership to the development and/or improvement of self-transcendence, was also investigated. The research methodology used in the research essay includes hermeneutic and descriptive strategies. The research methods that were used include a word and concept analysis, in order to clarify concepts central to the title of the research essay. A literature study was also conducted, to clarify self-transcendence from the perspective of various philosophers and their theories, within an existential and Personal and Professional Leadership paradigm. The following were important findings of the research essay: • Self-transcendence refers to the desire within a person to give more of himself to others. This will not only have an influence on the legacy that he leaves behind, but also on his own perceptions, self-awareness and potential platform. • The key elements of self-transcendence are: the ability to make a free choice with one's own free will, self-awareness, true north values, selfactualisation; and to have service-orientated relationships with others. • Self-transcendence plays a very important role in a person's life, by influencing a person's quality of life, legacy and ultimately the meaning of his life. • Personal and Professional Leadership plays a very important role in improving and developing self-transcendence, by creating an awareness of the continuous growth process towards enhancing selftranscendence. This could assist a person in becoming more proactive, by wanting to become more self-transcendent. • Servant Leadership can play an important role in self-transcendence. • Self-transcendence can enable a person to gain greater control over his life, which in turn will create a sense of meaning. • Self-transcendence can give a person a sense of belonging and purpose in his life, and also give a feeling that after his death, a part of him will continue to live on. • The research essay concludes by indicating that self-transcendence can, therefore, play a very important role in giving meaning to a person's life.
