Spiritual intelligence and leadership style

Abstract

Ken Wilber described spiritual intelligence as “literacy in the practice of transformation” and further noted that “spiritual intelligence is rapidly becoming a leadership imperative” (Wilber, 2012).
Following Wilber's (2012) postulates, spiritual intelligence, viewed as a leadership style, refers to a leader's ability to connect with a deeper meaning in life, transcending conventional limitations, seeking truth and integrity in their actions. This approach can improve decision-making, resilience in the face of adversity, and the ability to inspire others, fostering a more meaningful and positive work environment. Students are the future leaders in organizations, whether in the public or private sector. During their years in higher education institutions, participants will be able to learn and experience many types of leadership, either through their own capacity as leaders or as members of a team.
