Spiritual Leadership

One of the greatest challenges facing leaders today is the need to develop new business models that accentuate authentic and ethical leadership, employee well-being, sustainability, and social responsibility without sacrificing profitability and revenue growth. In effect, they are experimenting with new business models and adopting sustainable business strategies that have a positive economic, social, and environmental impact, often referred to as the triple bottom line or "People, Planet, and Profit.". 

Spiritual leadership is an emerging paradigm within the broader context of workplace spirituality designed to create an intrinsically motivated, learning organization that maximizes the triple bottom line. To date, IISL has developed the only theory of spiritual leadership that has been extensively tested and validated in a variety of settings. Studies have been conducted in over 100 organizations including schools, military units, cities, police, and for profit organizations (sample sizes ranged from 10 to over 1000). These studies have confirmed the spiritual leadership causal model and the reliability and validity of its measures. Results so far support a significant positive influence of spiritual leadership on employee life satisfaction, organizational commitment and productivity, various measure of work unit performance, and sales growth.

Spiritual leadership, which is central to workplace spirituality, involves motivating and inspiring workers through a transcendent vision and a corporate culture based on altruistic values to produce a highly motivated, committed and productive workforce. Having a sense of calling and meaning through one’s work and a sense of membership and belonging at work is a key outcome of spiritual leadership.
