Investigating the Spiritual Components of Leadership in Organization based on Teachings of Nahj al-Balaghah

Through indicators of spirituality in the organization, leaders provide a kind of internal motivation for themselves. On the other hand, by directing the behavior of their followers and deepening their inner values, they provide a basis for the external motivation of their subordinates. Considering the ability and potential capacity of the Sirah of Imam Ali (AS) and Nahj al-Balaghah, achieving distinctive teachings about the components of spiritual leadership is possible. Therefore, in this article, the life and speech of Hazrat Ali were investigated through a descriptive-analytical method, and the components of spiritual leadership in the organization were extracted, analyzed, and deduced. The research findings show that the components of spiritual leadership in the teachings of Imam Ali (AS) include dimensions related to human beliefs, rationality, and specialization. Human insight consists of two axes of emotional and cultural formation, and human action includes two axes of behavior and guidance. Since spirituality, along with the material aspect, is one of the aspects of human existence and an innate need, if this dimension is neglected, its output will be misguidance, oppression of oneself and others, deprivation, and helplessness.
