Abstract
I am deeply impressed by and thankful for the reflections I received from my four respondents. In spite of the significant differences in their perspectives and attitudes, together they provide considerable food for thought as to the nature of the challenges raised in my brief paper. Those challenges dealt with developing research and teaching environments that foster a perspective on leadership as a spiritual search; motivating and communicating such a perspective in environments dominated by economic rationality; and integrating spiritual-based leadership into educational programmes without reducing it to an instrument of economic rationality.
