Strategic Leadership by Guðbjörg Eggertsdóttir

The most important intelligences in strategic leadership are:

1. Strategic intelligence
   Seeing the bigger picture, setting long-term direction, and identifying opportunities.
2. Analytical intelligence
   Understanding information, recognising patterns, evaluating evidence, and solving complex problems.
3. Emotional intelligence
   Managing your own emotions and responding effectively to the emotions of others.
4. Social intelligence
   Building relationships, communicating clearly, influencing people, and creating trust.
5. Systems intelligence
   Understanding how decisions affect different teams, customers, finances, operations, and the wider organisation.
6. Decision-making intelligence
   Making thoughtful choices despite uncertainty, limited information, or competing priorities.
7. Learning intelligence
   Reflecting on results, accepting feedback, adapting to change, and improving continuously.

Together, these intelligences help strategic leaders connect long-term vision with practical action.

Practical intelligence is very important for the implementation and adaptability.
