Religion can give an individual codes to live. It can give a person hope, belief, and a reason to exist by making the individual feel loved or cared about by their religion or their religious deities. It can also give them hope and belief by feeling included within a group of individuals that share their same views.

Religion can only be understood in relation to other social systems and the economic structures of society. In fact, religion is only dependent upon economics, nothing else — so much so that the actual religious doctrines are almost irrelevant. This is a functionalist interpretation of religion: understanding religion is dependent upon what social purpose religion itself serves, not the content of its beliefs.
A leader must not rush ahead and make things happen, he has to spend time alone and understand god’s vision and wisdom as he plots his course. Seeking god’s directions means going on journey of –“knowing yourself”. Once his mind is clear on which path he has to take, He can walk many miles in that direction without any problem.
“Human beings are made for worship. Everyone worships someone or something” (Calhoun 2005). The above statement is so true. Some people worship money, themselves, other people or pagan Gods. As for me I worship God the Almighty Father of Heaven and Earth. “True worship of God happens when we put God first in our lives” (Calhoun 2005).

Although the field of spiritual leadership is still in its infancy, it is attracting a lot of attention in the last decade and many authors and scholars link spirituality to organizational leadership (Dent, Higgins and Wharf, 2005). A very popular definition of workplace spirituality is: “ a framework of organizational values evidenced in the culture that promote employees’ experience of transcendence through the work process, facilitating their since of being connected to others in a way that provides feelings of completeness and joy” (Krishnakumar et al., 2014).

Spiritual leadership has not been widely accepted by leaders because of the religious implications, according to Yusof and Tahir (2011). Additionally, theorists and practitioners do not agree on one definition, adding to many versions of the term spirituality (Fukui et al., 2010).
