Spiritual Leadership: Using Spirituality to Achieve Leadership for Disabled Individuals
摘要
This entry explores the potential spirituality has as a foundational tool for developing leadership qualities in disabled people. Contrary to conventional frameworks which all too often focus on external metrics, spiritual leadership emphasizes the power of introspection and self-defined purpose. Drawing on literature from within the fields of spirituality, psychology, and disability studies, this entry examines how spiritual practices can enable disabled people to cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and authentic leadership within an oppressive society. Spirituality can offer an internal pathway toward empowerment, facilitating a sense of purpose that transcends societal expectations. This model proposes that personal growth and spiritual introspection are crucial components of leadership for disabled individuals, supporting both individual well-being and broader social change.
