To explore the extent to which spiritually-based leadership is implemented in Iranian school management system, a cluster sample of 375 elementary school teachers, along with a group of 10 experts, was selected and given a specially constructed questionnaire with an acceptable validity, as judged by  experts, and an internal consistency of 0.85. Data analyses yielded the following: school principals lack most of the indices of faith (13 out of 19), as they did those of organizational commitment (7 out of 10), and meaningfulness (4 out of 6). All in all, the current state differs significantly from that which is desired. Mechanisms by which things can improve are delineated from the experts’ views using the Delphi technique.
