Driving organizational entrainment through spiritual leadership

Connectedness is considered as one of the defining characteristics of the twenty-first century, with organizational research highlighting the importance of time, pace, rhythm, and cycles in business through the phenomenon of entrainment.

This conceptual paper argues that applying spiritual leadership at each level of an organization can drive the (inter)connectedness in today’s organizations through entrainment.

As such, it proposes a basis for new empirical research in the fields of leadership and organizational entrainment.
