Abstract
The purpose of this study is to design Rumi's leadership model based on the Being-centered leadership theory. The Being-centered leadership theory is the newest model in the field of leadership in the organization, which is designed on the basis of world famous religious traditions. The book Step by Step to Meet God, written by Dr. Abdol Hossein Zarrinkoob, was chosen as the source for designing Rumi's leadership model. This interdisciplinary study is a qualitative research and was conducted using thematic analysis. According to the research findings, Rumi's leadership model is Non-dual and consists of two overarching themes. These themes include: The human role of the leader and the organizational role of the leader. The set of organizing themes in the human role include: self-realization, acquisition of knowledge, personality traits-moral virtues, innate talents, educational backgrounds, individual skills, scientific-technical capabilities, and institutionalized cognitive-belief growth. The set of organizing themes in the organizational role include: constructive organizational communication, constructive appreciation from followers, spiritual and moral education of followers, empowering followers, attention to the mental health of followers and responsible accountability. According to the research results, the realization of the Non-dual leadership model requires the leader to pay attention to the proper performance of organizational and human roles.
