Through an analysis of the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), a worldwide socio-spiritual organization, this case study investigates the leadership strategies of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This study analyzes the leadership tactics utilized inside BAPS to accomplish its purpose of social improvement. The study uses qualitative research methodologies such as interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate a combination of charismatic, servant, and transformative leadership styles. A dedication to values-based leadership, community involvement, and organizational excellence distinguishes these styles. This study contributes to a better understanding of effective leadership practices in organizations driven by their purpose by providing insights on the dynamic interplay between leadership, spirituality, and social impact inside non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
