A new global leadership paradigm is gradually emerging: spiritual leadership.
A spiritual approach to leadership is presented by merging inner wisdom with business wisdom: a leader's inner perspective on the purpose of life and leadership is the foundation for decisions and actions in the outer world of business.
Empirical research based on interviews with 31 top leaders from 15 countries in six continents demonstrates that "leaders can obtain happiness, respect, peace of mind and success, while at the same time serving the needs of all those affected by their leadership when they lead from a spiritual basis.
It also indicates that spirituality can serve as the foundation for leadership that considers ethics, social responsibility and concern for the environment not just as instruments to protect corporate reputation and income generation but as fundamental principles and values in their own right".
