Faith-Based Leadership: Influencing Corporate Culture by Abdulhussain Muhammed Tejani

Faith-based leadership is often misunderstood as “bringing religion into the workplace.” In an Islamic frame, it is closer to something far more practical: bringing responsibility, justice, mercy, and excellence into how you lead – so that culture becomes an ethical ecosystem, not a slogan. When leaders internalise faith as character (akhlaq) rather than performance, corporate culture changes in measurable ways: trust rises, fear reduces, collaboration improves, and people feel a sense of dignity at work.
