Abstract

A cohort of the growing body of theorists is coming to the conclusion that leadership is not just a cluster of skills, knowledge, and common practices of persons who occupy that group role. Rather, it is a function of the whole person of the individual leader. That is, the leader leads on the basis of his whole self and the task is to build relationships with followers at the level of their core self—their spirit self (Cacioppe, 2000; Capelli, 1999; Covey, 1992; Nirenberg, 1998; Ryan, 2000). In their search for success, spiritual leaders focus both upward toward their file leaders as well as downward toward their coworker-followers. In these rapidly changing times, workplace and personal success requires that both parts of the leader’s continually shifting roles are active. Leadership is based on leaders displacing disparate worker values and substituting their [leader’s] work values. In doing this they create a true, united, internally cohesive community. That is, leaders work to create a unified group that direct their combined efforts to the leader’s set of work methods and one eventually mutually shared outcome. In fact, Cacioppe (2000) defines the central role of leadership as the development of spirit at individual, team, and organizational levels.
