Keywords:
Appreciative Inquiry, Efficient Spiritual Leadership, LeadershipAbstract
In the current exploratory research paper, a questionnaire was developed to measure an Appreciative Inquiry Model. In the second part, an appreciative inquiry test was correlated to an efficient-spiritual questionnaire. In the sample taken from Latin American CEOs, we could observe in the results, a significant correlation between an appreciative inquiry style of leadership with efficient-spiritual leadership. All the dimensions of appreciative inquiry were also correlated to efficient-spiritual. Further research is recommended.
