ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on areas ranging from the neurobiology of values to spirituality and values of the new age. It deals with ethical, emotional, and economic values in the triaxial model and explores the connection of visionary leadership to spiritual values. The emotional values dimension focuses more on the feelings, attitudes, and traits in individuals: the spiritual values dimension focuses on another level of the individuals, where they create the significance of their being. Although spiritual values are not as decisive as those described in the triaxial value model-that is, they do not have a direct impact on organizational effectiveness-they do provide a platform for aligning the instrumental values. Adding spiritual values to leadership practice and the spirituality axis to the triaxial model of values are therefore essential actions for people exercising leadership in any field. Perhaps by embracing and supporting those who lead from their core spiritual values, one can deepen those leadership qualities in ourselves.
