Abstract
The aims of this literature review are to firstly unpack the definition and components of
the concept of passionate leadership, and to assess whether it differs from passion in other
contexts. From this a second aim will be to critically review the extant literature of passionate
leadership, and to assess where gaps may be present. Thirdly it is anticipated that this will
generate several research avenues and questions in need of exploration so as passionate
leadership in organizations (PLIO) can be further understood.
Researchers and academics from various sectors call for a more “effective, inclusive and
legitimate forms of global leadership” (e.g., Gill, 2011). Indeed others such as Gandolfi and Stone
(2016) even go so far as to suggest a global leadership crisis.
In response to this, PLIO addresses this global need of a new form of leadership identified as a
way of life focused on bettering the world.
