The findings of the research show that Ayatollah Khamenei’s style of leadership is based on spiritual consciousness of a certain kind.

The hard constituents of the conscious spiritual leadership in volves such things as military affairs, economy, and geographical and geopolitical conditions, and the soft constituents of this model include spirituality, theism, knowledge, technology, culture, politics, as well as interior and exterior security.
