On the other hand, when looking at the organizational impact of the covenantal leadership style, one can see a flourishing organization. Covenantal leaders empower others through open communication, commitment, trust, respect, and shared values. The empowerment results in organizational flexibility, adaptability, and more meaningful engagement between leadership and other members of the organization (Fischer & Schultz, 2016, p. 53). A covenantal arrangement allows everyone to “see the larger constraints and goals of the organization and not just the impact of rules and decisions at their level” (Fischer & Schultz, 2016, p. 54).
