Abstract	:	Spiritual leadership involves the application of spiritual values and principles to the workplace. Incorporating spirituality in leadership may lead to greater perception of trust, organizational support, commitment, and productivity. This paper presents a phenomenological qualitative research design that explored the effectiveness of spiritual leadership in entrepreneurial organizations in Ghana, underscoring its uniqueness in promoting spiritual survival for both the leader and follower. The literature review thoroughly explained the concept of spiritual leadership. Intangible concepts, such as spirit, spirituality, and religion, as they relate to the spiritual leadership construct were explained and the uniqueness of spiritual leadership in entrepreneurial organizations were examined. Following the research questions, the paper posited a methodology and procedure for analyzing the qualitative data that were collected from entrepreneurial organizations belonging to Christian, Muslim, animist, and nonspiritual leaders. Ten themes emerged from the analysis that describes the effectiveness of spiritual leadership on entrepreneurial firms. Results indicated that spiritual leadership in the Christian and Muslim categories is more effective than the animist and nonspiritual categories. However, the nonspiritual classification demonstrated an effectiveness that is above the animist group, giving an indication of a possible negative spiritual leadership phenomenon.
