We have tried to study his letters, sermons, and wise sayings in the Nahjolbalagheh to identify and explain the principles governing over his military leadership style. The methodology is the grounded theory. Extracting 1046 concepts out of the whole source led to the formulation of his leadership style displaying his personal and religious beliefs and the way of interacting with four groups of addressees. According to the findings of the research, the favorable leadership style from the viewpoint of Amirolmomenin hazrat Ali (Alayhessalam(A.S.)) is contingency style based on the principles of belief and it is duty-oriented which is used for people, relatives, and enemies through proper strategies, sympathetic guidance, brotherly observation, sever caring, andbravely campaign.
