from Part VI - Kinds of Intelligence
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 December 2019
Leaders matter to organizational performance and adaptability. Effective leaders matter the most in a dramatic and positive manner. This chapter is really about the role of intelligence in leadership, not the claim that the capability to be an effective leader is a distinct individual characteristic or a type of intelligence. Intelligent leadership, therefore, is leadership in which a person uses many forms of intelligence: cognitive, practical, emotional, and social intelligence. The chapter also examines how the role of the unconscious motive of the Need for Power, a sense of purpose, values, style and the quality of relationships (in terms of shared vision, compassion, and energy) are essential to effective leadership. There is also a brief review of the dark side of leadership.
