Abstract Leaders whose roots can be traced in spirituality might be relatively less in number but they are the ones who represent aspirations of billions of people. They are the change agents who can converge needs of the society and objectives of the business organizations and do away with a taken for granted norm which assume that both don’t go hand in hand. In this paper an attempt has been made to review from a 360 degree perspective how the spirituality practiced by business leaders is related to outcomes which are concerned with employees, suppliers, retailers, customers, investors and society. Further workplace spirituality has been studied by drawing evidence from literature. Additionally an attempt has been made to understand the necessity of ethics in current times when unethical practices are becoming legitimate actions and accepted norms across business organizations.
