Abstract: Abstract Spiritual leaders incite passion and energy among their followers. They use the power of their character—their values, ideas, their spirit, and their position—to manipulate coworkers and inspire them to work together in achieving shared goals. And the same can be said for each coworker in the work community. As human beings we all have an innate drive to achieve our personal goals and to induce colleagues to adopt similar goals. This drive can be morally good in its innate nature. Or it can be evil. That is, it can produce positive or hurtful results for the individual and for coworkers. The fact that evil exists throughout the world seems incontrovertible. We see evil everyday in its infinitely diverse forms. It is this an issue in doing leadership.
