Abstract: A model of spiritual leadership has been developed to build a vision inclusive of Vasudev Kutumbhkam, awareness, connectedness, meaningfulness, self-less action and spirituality across all levels of an organisation to foster higher levels of individual, group and organisational commitment, performance, and productivity at work. First, the need for spiritual leadership has been introduced. Next, the essence of spiritual leadership has been examined through the review of the literature, to identify the essentials and effectiveness of spiritual leadership at work. Interview-based qualitative research along with a review of literature has been used to develop a generic definition of spiritual leadership, the essentials that contribute towards the ethos behind it and study its consequences. Finally, a conceptual model has been proposed to study the antecedents and consequences of spiritual leadership at all levels in an organisation. The study concludes with findings and recommendations.
