摘要

Covenantal leadership is an ethically based leadership perspective that addresses the leader’s commitment to empower and enrich others that has evolved from the work of several authors but especially the writings of Moses Pava. Those who embrace this leadership approach are purpose-focused stewards who care deeply about the growth of individuals and the flourishing of organizations in which they labor. Although there is more than one clear path to covenantal leadership, those who follow its principles seek to constantly pursue clearer meaning in living fruitful lives that honor the leader’s obligations to individuals, to organizations, and to society. The failures of those who lead have become increasingly apparent in a world where leadership has been acknowledged as critical to every organization’s success. Leader credibility and the ability to establish trust are closely connected and the leader’s integrity and capacity to inspire others have been widely recognized. Within the present-day context, many scholars have suggested that those who lead owe responsibilities to others that rise to the level of covenantal obligations.
