Abstract
The study explores the main practical implications for decision-making and managerial action in organizations that adopted spiritual leadership or that are willing to follow such an approach. Spiritual leadership is a relatively innovative concept, defined as that type of leadership that aims to “create vision and value congruence across the individual, empowered team, and organization levels and, ultimately, foster higher levels of both organizational commitment and productivity” (The Leadership Quarterly 16:835–863). Our study will first review the theoretical contributions to the spiritual leadership research agenda and then will assess its development and limitations. The critical evaluation of the specialized literature will contribute to the underlining of the main implications in terms of managerial behavior; will highlight the criteria spiritual leaders use for decision-making; and, more generally, will explore how the adoption of a spiritual leadership approach influences managerial action in organizations.
