The CORE Model: A Virtues-Based Assessment for Advancing Global Leadership Organizational Growth and Development Through Coaching

Raquel Lloyd | 2023

Abstract

This paper analyzes the positive impact of Christian spiritual development in advancing global organizational leadership development (GOLD). It introduces the CORE model (Commitment, Openness, Respect, Empathy) as a credible and practical spiritual leadership assessment mediated through leadership coaching (LC). This analysis seeks to illuminate spiritual intelligence (SI) through a faith-based assessment as a professional resource to embed a righteous constitution in organizational spaces and, over time, inform conventional leadership practices with profound insight and foresight. The research author gathered additional data sources from a seminar conducted with seven (n = 7) professional leaders from diverse private and non-profit environments who completed the CORE assessment and a pre and post-survey. The CORE tool is a relational instrument designed to empower leaders to draw transforming influence (TI) in a virtues-based context. The CORE assessment is a prosocial construct with applied practices related to organizational leader and member growth, performance, and sustainability measures that completes the ethical development lens, undergirds contemporary business ethics, and generates sustainable results in wholehearted organizational leadership agency. It is the hope that this examination contributes to the furtherance of virtue ethics practice and scholarship in the field.
