This qualitative phenomenological case study examined the influence of female leaders’ perceptions of peace and globality on leadership styles and organizational development practices in two voluntary organizations. They are Young Women's Christian Association of Tokyo (YWCA-Tokyo) and Young Women's Christian Association of Japan (YWCA-Japan), affiliated to the World Young Women's Christian Association (World YWCA). Three methods were used: interview, observation, and document analysis. Outlined by YWCA-Japan’s experiences of World War II, the interviewed leaders first highlighted the essentiality of sincere apology. Their perceptions of peace stressed committed reconciliation based on multiangled learning, the voice of civil societies, kyousei or co-living based on diversity, collaboration and trust, and the development of belonging and worth. Peace goes beyond an absence of war. Their perspectives on globality included philosophy that goes beyond national boundaries, the local-global dualism, and the objective look of the Earth and human behaviors. Findings revealed the influence of peace and globality perceptions on lived experiences, leadership styles, and organizational practices: structure, system, culture and climate.
