The purpose of this study was to determine if spiritual leadership could be defined and categorized as a model of effective school leadership in independent schools, and what characteristics, if any, are held in common by those leaders identified as intrinsically religious. Effective school leadership was defined in terms of the servant-leadership and moral leadership models, and was identified as having vision and creating community/developing human resources. The manner in which the intrinsically spiritual leader's beliefs informed decisions and practices in the areas of leadership practices, particularly human resources/relations and vision, were explored to determine if there were any identifiable patterns and similarities. A grounded theory research approach was utilized to analyze data. Similarities and differences in the responses to the interview questions were analyzed to determine if there were shared themes in the definitions of spirituality, as well as the leadership styles and practices described by the intrinsically spiritual leaders. The similarities and differences were used to determine if the nature of the leadership of the intrinsically spiritual leader could be defined as spiritual leadership, and whether that style of leadership would be an effective model of leadership in independent school education.

520 $a There were two distinct phases of the study. The first exploratory phase sought to identify those leaders in independent schools who could be identified as “spiritual.” The Religious Orientation Scale (Allport and Ross, 1967) was sent to the Heads of School of the sixty-seven independent schools for the purpose of identifying intrinsically religious leaders. Of the sixty-seven, five Heads of School were selected for phase two and participated in the interview which further explored their ideas about spirituality, their leadership traits and leadership practices. The data collected through these interviews generated ideas, themes and categories which determined a definition of spirituality utilized by the independent school leaders, and whether that spirituality influenced their leadership traits and leadership practices. Finally, those leadership practices were analyzed to determine if a type of leadership known as spiritual leadership could be definitively identified, and whether it could serve as a model of effective leadership in independent schools.
