Artificial Intelligence: Spiritual Intelligence Research

981 Words4 Pages

Spiritual Intelligence
In defining intelligence, researchers devised the concepts IQ and EQ to account for the complex nature of human intelligence (Zohar & Marshall, 2000, p. 1). Interestingly, emerging research is highlighting the importance of a third intelligence – spiritual intelligence (SQ) (Covey, 2005:53; Daderman, Ronthy, Ekegren & Mardberg, 2013:64; Zohar et.al., 2000:3; Zohar et. al., 2004:30). SQ is the ultimate intelligence – the foundation of both IQ and EQ; the intelligence of visionary leaders like Churchill, Ghandi, and Mandela (Zohar & Marshall, 2000, p.4; Zohar, 2005, p. 46). Ronthy (2014, p.15) states that in a world governed by change, leaders need to find an inner security and the secrets to this leadership lie in a …show more content…

56). For instance, Wigglesworth defines SQ through a set of 21 skills that can be learned. Her definition requires wisdom and compassion regardless of the situation (Wigglesworth, 2012, p.447). This definition resonates with Zohar and Marshall (2004, p. 96), who refer to the word ‘spiritual’ and its meaning, ‘wisdom’. Another definition by Emmons (as cited in Chin, Anantharaman & Tong, 2011, p. 3) defines SQ as the ability to use spiritual information to solve everyday problems. Mostly, definitions offer a spiritual lens to view our world with, and connect us with our true being and life passion, our search for greater meaning (Zohar et. al., 2004, p.98). However, Zohar et. al. (2005:98), describe SQ as the soul’s intelligence that connects our lives allowing us insight into our world and organisations. A transformative definition of SQ states that it allows us to dream, visualise and connect to a meaningful purpose in life (Daderman et. al., 2013, p. 64). Since this definition has a transformative potential, it should be considered a vital component of modern leadership (Esfahani & MotamenFar, 2015, p.

    The leaders they followed believed in their worth as individuals. Others reported that the leaders they followed went well out of their way to helping them with personal situations and made them feel good about themselves. In the first chapter of Credibility How Leaders Gain and Lose It Why People Demand It, Beth Bremner discusses how she was ashamed of telling people where she worked because the management at her previous place of employment did not share her values of truthfulness and integrity. She continues to explain that she desired to work for a business that shared the same values, beliefs, objectives, and visions as she did. The authors, James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner, discuss how many people are motivated and strive for the same aspirations Beth had.

    Because of the ever-evolving world, leadership styles have also changed. Transformational is still a strong style, but added to this is a new genre of leadership including esthetic, ethical and spiritual. These are targeted towards morals and values and can be used in effort to inspire followers to be actively engaged in the company and go beyond the needs of their employment. Theorist argue that “these contemporary theories fill gaps in the leadership literature by expanding into areas of emotions, inspiration, and morality.” (Spector, 2014) We can expect for the qualities that define a strong, positive leader to continue evolving.

    Many of the most cruel, vicious, and horrible leaders in the world we know today, have inherited their power through fear. Yet, a grand amount of them have something in common. They may rule with an iron fist, but essentially, they were successful. Many productive ideas and developments have come through collaborative efforts, but as history shows, many of the productive leaders in history ruled through authoritative leadership. Although both forms of leadership bring many significant changes, authoritative feared leadership can be above all, including collaborative leadership, when executed correctly and efficiently.

    Leaders can be good or bad, but do people have to be either a good or bad leader to be effective? This leads to an important question--what makes an effective leader? An effective leader has to have firm control over who they are leading, sometimes through the use of fear or confusing language, or even through repetition of specific words and empathy, as seen in the novel 1984 and the speech “Four Freedoms”. In the text 1984, the government who is the leader is effective by using the method of fear.

    Papathanasiou et al. (2014, p. 407) outline authentic leadership as the ability to influence the actions and behaviour of individuals to work together to achieve their goals. Additionally, Goffee and Jones (2005, p. 87) describe authentic leadership as a real thing, an attribute that uniquely defines great leaders. Furthermore, they highlight that authentic leaders are highly attuned to their environment and that whilst they retain their distinctiveness they understand how to strongly influence and win acceptance in strong cultures and how to utilise those cultures as a basis for radical change. President Kennedy also displayed attributes of an effective transformational leader in a time of crisis and sought to inspire and encourage the population to develop and achieve their greatest potential.

Martin Luther King was flexible. Once he said that: “When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong you cannot be too conservative.” All things considered, the future leaders should learn from his example because he created himself.
