We’ve heard emotional intelligence is important for relationships. What about spiritual intelligence? Yosi Amram explains that spiritual intelligence isn't about religious beliefs but the embodiment of virtues like purpose, gratitude, joy, and integrity, which lead to a more fulfilling life. Spiritual intelligence involves embodying timeless virtues like purpose, service, gratitude, integrity, and intuition. Yosi also discusses the 7 dimensions that make up spiritual intelligence. These include meaning, grace, inner-directed, community, presence, truth, and wisdom. Spiritual intelligence isn't just about personal growth but also enables leaders to create more cohesive teams, authentic interactions, and a deep sense of purpose. Research shows humble, listening leaders are the most effective because they take a holistic perspective by integrating input from all stakeholders.
