The Prophet was successful in his leadership because he suggested and lived the values important to leadership.  His public communication was successful because he provided a living example of his suggestions within his own interactions with family, believers, and non-believers.  His daily interactions as husband, father, friend, businessman, public figure, and messenger of God all reinforced his leadership ability and values orientation.  The importance of Muhammad’s public communication through history is unquestioned (Hart, 1992).  Muhammad’s extraordinary leadership values, identified in this research, complement the transformational leadership values found and further researched by countless researchers.  These additional values can inform current and future leaders who want to be truly inspiring and transformational in theory and practice, at home and in organizational settings.  This textual analysis found more than 70 values in the public communication of Muhammad and they were condensed into the broader categories of family, character, and community values.  There are many future research opportunities using the public communication of the Prophet Muhammad.
