The study addresses perceived alignment between the spiritual core values of fairness, kindness, trust, respect, honesty, and integrity and the behaviors associated with exemplary leadership.

Literature abounds in the field of exemplary leadership practices but spiritual leadership is traditionally overlooked as a credible topic of scholarly research because of its assumed nexus with religion. The irony is that great leaders in history are not remembered for what they accomplished, but rather for the spiritual core of values they imparted to their followers: fairness, kindness, trust, respect, honesty and integrity. The findings of the study revealed clear consistency between this spiritual core of values and the practice of exemplary leadership. The study contends that by viewing spiritual leadership as a holistic practice that transcends denominational doctrine, the achievement of results is solidly built upon the universally accepted spiritual values of hope, faith, altruistic love and caring for the well-being of the human spirit. By 2025, millennials will represent two-thirds of the global workforce (Pew Research Center, 2016). Further implications point to the importance of acknowledging the millennial generation’s need to have greater work/life balance, meaning and purpose to their work if school districts hope to retain and attract a talented pool of school leaders.  \nICPEL Education Leadership Review, Vol. 18, No. 1– December, 2017 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2017 International Council of Professors of Educational Leadership  \nPurpose of Study  \nThe purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions and understanding of school leaders as they related to exemplary leadership and spiritual leadership practices to inform a more holistic, model of educational leadership. The intent of this study is to provide insight into a more holistic approach to leadership that recognizes the need for balance between the tensions inherent in the pursuit of desired school goals with the need to prioritize the well-being and care of the human spirit (Allison, 2011; Beisser, Peters, & Thacker, 2014; Boyatzis & McKee, 2005; Fry, 2003; Kouzes & Posner, 2007; Reave, 2005) .  \nThe study focused primarily on school leaders’perceptions and practices that aligned with the dimensions of spiritual leadership and exemplary leadership practices. These four research questions were considered:  \n1. What are the perceptions and practices of school leaders that align with the dimensions of school leadership?  \n2. What are the perceptions and practices of school leaders that align with the dimensions of exemplary practices of leaders?  \n3. How do the spiritual leadership and exemplary practices and perceptions of school leaders relate to each other?  \n4. How might the convergence or divergence of spiritual leadership and exemplary practices as shown by the participants of this study inform a more holistic model of educational leadership?  \nReview of Literature  \nStudy of Spirituality  \nMany social scientists, psychologists, and organizational researchers have undertaken the study of spirituality due to a substantial increase of interest over the past 20 years (Dent, Higgins, & Wharff, 2005; Fry, 2003; Fry & Nisiewicz, 2013; Giacalone & Jurkiewicz, 2010) . Although some may consider the topic of spirituality unworthy of scientific study, the power it contains to transform traditional thinking about leadership is well worth the academic risk. Due to its nexus with religion, the working definition of spirituality for the purpose of this study was described as one that transcends denominational doctrine and practice and was understood as the kind of leadership that leads from deeper levels through purposeful actions and behaviors (Fry, 2003) . When regarded within this context, spirituality is viewed as an individual phenome","cbCaieUJA7pXJPjE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieUJA7pXJPjE","pdf",332795,15,"English","# Purpose of Study\n# Research Questions\n# Review of Literature\n## Study of Spirituality\n## Spiritual Intelligence\n## Spiritual Leadership and Exemplary Leadership Practices","[{\"question\":\"What was the main focus of the qualitative study?\",\"answer\":\"The study examined six school leaders’ practices and perceptions by comparing exemplary leadership and spiritual leadership practices.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the study treat spirituality as a credible area for leadership research?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that spirituality, despite its nexus with religion, can transform how leadership is understood and should be investigated academically.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study link spiritual leadership to exemplary leadership?\",\"answer\":\"It finds consistency between spiritual core values and exemplary leadership practices, and proposes a holistic approach grounded in hope, faith, altruistic love, and care for well-being.\"}]","The Impact of Spirituality on School Leadership - read online free | PDF",1792093597,38]
