SPIRITUAL AND MORAL DIMENSIONS OF LEADERSHIP IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY: A SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH

Abstract

This article analyzes the spiritual and moral dimensions of leadership in contemporary society from a socio-philosophical perspective. The study examines leadership not only as a managerial function but also as a value-based social phenomenon shaped by ethical responsibility, moral consciousness, and social legitimacy. Special attention is given to the transformation of leadership in the context of globalization, digitalization, and the growing complexity of social systems. The research argues that spiritual and moral leadership is a key factor in ensuring social trust, sustainable development, and ethical governance. The article also explores classical and modern philosophical interpretations of moral leadership and highlights the role of values, responsibility, and communicative ethics in shaping leadership culture in modern society.
