Abstract

The constructs of emotional intelligence and multiple intelligences show that there are more ways to identify human capacities than just through logical and linguistic intelligence, as traditionally measured by I.Q. This chapter explores the role of multiple intelligences in enhancing the effectiveness of holistic leaders. By harnessing rational, emotional, inter/intra personal, and spiritual intelligences, leaders can recognize and nurture the myriad gifts that people bring to work. The concept of multiple intelligences, as propounded by the Harvard Psychologist Howard Gardner, challenges the conventional view of intelligence that focuses on language and mathematical intelligence and recognizes various additional forms of intelligence to account for excellence in music, language, sports, and the like. The role of emotions in our lives can hardly be overemphasized. To feel emotions is to be human. Emotional intelligence has come to be widely recognized as a key component of effective leadership. It has become an increasingly popular competency recently for identifying and developing effective leaders. Emotional intelligence is about properly managing emotions in oneself and others. The chapter also explores the role of empathy in leadership success. It concludes with reviewing spiritual intelligence and its role in holistic leadership.
