Bringing together an interdisciplinary line up of scholars from across the social sciences and theology, this book explores emerging discourses in leadership and spirit that are rooted in theoretical, epistemological, and empirical scholarship.

This book examines the motivations and invisible forces that shape organizations and communities by taking a dual approach to the study of spirituality: the “Spirit” of religion and theological impulses and the human “spirit” in teams and communities. Contributors pursue narratives and theories both grounded in a reflective epistemology and enlightened by fresh theological as well as social scientific insights into lived experience and actual leadership practice. In so doing, they offer considered perspectives that address the gap between leadership studies generally and leadership studies in more religious settings and envision new practices that contribute to human, economic, and ecological flourishing.

Emerging Trends in Leadership and Spirituality will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students across leadership studies, theology, and organizational science, as well as to practitioners and leaders across business, public, and religious settings.
