Leadership Intelligence is a Higher Dimension of Intelligence Beyond the Ego

 
There is a Leadership Intelligence we are all born with, but which remains dormant if not accessed and trained at will. This is our advanced intelligence, beyond IQ and EQ, that is also called Integrative Intelligence because it integrates all dimensions of intelligence we have as individuals.

Unfortunately, nowadays, most leadership training fails to deliver the transformation it promises. The reason for that is that most do not address what I call the root skill of a true leader. Or, if they do work to a certain extent, the approach is from the outside-in and not the other way around, which is how it needs to be for a core, enduring transformation.

Just think about it: nobody can teach you how to be present, authentic, how to be loving, altruistic, wise, joyful, compassionate, creative - YOU need to tap into your Beingness (Totality / Wholeness) which holds these qualities as inherent and which we can all manifest naturally when we ground our self in our true identity.

The simple truth is that in order to be a Great Leader, you first need to know who you truly are, at your core. Your core intelligence is your Leadership Intelligence or what science calls today, Spiritual Intelligence. Your core intelligence or spiritual intelligence puts Soul in command of your body-mind, instead of your ego, which is limited and conditioned by past experiences and future expectations/projections (thoughts and emotions). Without the advanced guidance and inspiration of our real self we are trapped in conditioning.

Consider this: you can learn as much as you like in theory about how to be a great leader, but if you cannot apply it in the moment a challenge occurred, what is the point of learning more?

The secret to being a great leader is who you are, NOT what you know!

You may have an idea about what these words mean to you, but let me explain what I mean by them! Say that you meet a challenging situation at work and something really gets you stressed-out, uncertain, doubting, or fearful, worried, or angry. And you need to choose a course of action in the moment.

Are you then capable of performing at your best? You know that stress, fear, anxiety, anger cloud your best judgment and influence your decisions and course of action. So are you able in that moment to apply the leadership strategy you have learned and completely wash that emotional reaction out of your system so you can truly be at your best when handling that situation? Most people are not able to do that on the spot. Firstly, because they don’t even think about doing that, secondly, they don’t know how to do it genuinely so they are not longer affected and influenced AT ALL by the emotion or compulsive thought, and thirdly because they usually try to solve the problem at the level it occurred - which is in the mind - by applying some outside-in strategies they learned ins some courses.

But as Einstein said:

You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.

What that means is that you need to get to higher ground. Get a higher, wider perspective. Your real self (which is forever free of intellectual and emotional conditioning) always has clarity and peace so it is always in any moment - independent of the circumstances - much better equipped to handle any challenging situations than your conditioned self (ego).

Your challenge is to extract yourself from the midst of the problem (chaos) and get to higher ground (perfect inner order and peace - where you are completely freed of anger, anxiety, fear, etc.) to have a clearer vision of the situation... without your perception and thinking being altered by your re-acting limiting thoughts or emotions. Not an easy task, normally. However, what you are about to find out here has the potential to change your life forever! So, you may want to pay close attention to this! Tapping Into Your Higher Dimension of Intelligence

We all, as human beings have the ability to get out of our limiting mind patterns (which represent our conditioning/programming) at will and we all have the ability to access our true self and higher intelligence (beyond the thinking mind).

The true self always has the freedom and unlimited resources to solve anything optimally and in perfect response to the exact conditions of the present moment - as it has permanent access to and draws its infinite intelligence, wisdom and love from the inexhaustible Source of All That Is.

This is a human capability that very few know about, and even fewer know how to train it specifically and deliberately! It is the next level of intelligence. Upgrading the functionality of our brain to operate with this higher intelligence is the next step in human evolution. It is the capability of the Future Leaders and Leaders of the Future and the main feature of the New World that is being born, the New Earth Reality.

Living with a thinking, feeling, and doing that are ego-free, conditioning-free in any moment of experience and under all conditions. Operating from our full potential - "whole-brain" thinking, or genius thinking. This capability is a higher form of intelligence that allows you to be your true unconditioned self independent of circumstances. Neuroscience discovered that this intelligence is wired in the human brain from birth, but it remains dormant if we don’t learn how to activate and use it intentionally.

But how does this relate to being a great leader? Well, you have probably connected the dots by now. But let me spell that out for you: To be the best leader you can be, you need to know how to be your best self in Any circumstance.

And to be able to be your best self in any circumstance you need to know how to remain free of any kind of intellectual or emotional stress and be able to operate from a state of genuine equanimity, peace and higher-order problem solving.

You need to be able to know how to function as your true self, from beyond your conditioned and conditioning mind, from beyond your mind-made self. This is only possible when you know how to access your higher dimension of intelligence at will. This is where greatness begins!

If you look at all the great leaders you admire you will probably realize that what they all have in common is that they operate from a higher consciousness. They never compromised Love, Courage, Integrity, Clarity, Peace, Certainty, Confidence, Kindness, Compassion, Altruism, Joy, all features of Leadership Intelligence, the intelligence of your true divine being.

The great news is you have it too. We all have it, and all we need is simply learn how to train our brain to function with this higher intelligence, instead of just with IQ and EQ, so we can naturally and effortlessly be our best and operate from our full capabilities no matter how triggering or challenging the situation. In other words,

You can train your brain to be your best self at all times, independent of circumstances. When you have trained your brain to use this higher intelligence as the new way of processing life, you'll experience a totally new improved way of thinking, feeling, behaving, speaking, relating, performing, making decisions and choices.

Some of the extraordinary qualities Leadership Intelligence enables you to manifest effortlessly, are: you can naturally enjoy acute self-awareness, conscious presence, high-quality relating, a broader and wiser perspective, clarity in general and clarity in decision making, integrity, inner peace, creativity, intuition, higher-order problem-solving, love, compassion, joy, wisdom.

In short:

You can teach your brain to process life optimally so you can always be your best, unconditioned by the thinking, and feeling patterns you developed as you development as a human being. This means you’ll be able to handle situations and relationships:
  • by responding, instead of reacting to whatever is happening in the present moment
  • from inner peace, instead of pressure, or inner conflict
  • from love, instead of fear
  • from presence and awareness, instead of unconscious, programed behavior
  • from truth and integrity instead of any form of falsehood (fears, doubts, limiting beliefs)

    Training your brain to operate with this higher intelligence will enable you to easily handle any challenges that occur, via your unconditioned conscious presence. Without that, and with the complex challenges increasing every day in our VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world, you will be more and more prone to stressing out over situations, which will inevitably affect your performance as well as your relationships, your sense of fulfillment and your life as a whole, blocking you from being and living at your best.

    On the other hand, living with your higher intelligence allows you to remain The Conscious Presence and in your full power at all times, capable of using all your capabilities free of the pressure of the circumstances, free from compulsions and conditioning! This is what being your best self is about! Having this ability dormant in your being and not using it is a waste not only for yourself, your loved ones, but for the entire world. It is a choice we can all make to liberate our awareness and functioning in the world from conditioning so we can live free from struggle, conflict and suffering, as we are in our true nature.

    The best leaders use integrated intelligence by combining personal dimensions of intelligence (IQ+EQ) with a transpersonal dimension of intelligence (SQ). (Richard Griffiths, 3Q Institute, UK)
