WHY SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE?
The world is changing faster than we can keep up, and we are constantly asked to make new sense of our individual and shared reality and find new and better solutions and answers to ensure that all of existence thrive. The traditional mind-set of business and leadership is not equipped to deal with these challenges of today. We both need radical new ways of thinking, working and conducting business - but also of simply being in life. We have access to so many more ressources within that help us and others to thrive.
Spiritual intelligence is an intelligence we all have access to and can develop, which invoke our inner noble essence of being, our power and complexity of mind and the vast inner resources we have available beyond our limited rational thinking and being. It translates into greater life and leadership capabilities, which are necessary if we want to contribute to the creation and transformation of our world.
We can develop spiritual intelligence independent on any spiritual or religious belief system. In the book you will see that each of the leaders that contribute with their stories have developed spiritual intelligence both within and outside of different spiritual or religious belief-systems.
When we develop our spiritual intelligence we change who we are, how we see the world and what we are capable of. Spiritual intelligence enable us to hold and navigate a complex world with clarity and ease, it enable us to think in both-and instead of either or, it helps us to hold great paradox and lead with wisdom and heart. It enable us to navigate the uncertainty and turbulence of life and transformation with grace. Spiritual intelligence is an upgrade of all of who we are, which translates into greater life and leadership mastery.
Spiritual intelligence is an innate intelligence we all have access to, but which takes commitment and discipline to develop. When we do, it translates directly into mastery and capabilities.
