Abstract

Purpose One critical aspect of strong leadership communication is developing emotional (EQ) and spiritual intelligences (SQ). EQ helps individuals be more empathetic and effective, while SQ promotes an understanding of impacts beyond oneself. This paper aims to explore the relationship between leadership communication and EQ and SQ. Corporations can leverage leaders with high EQ and SQ and/or provide EQ/SQ training to employees. Design/methodology/approach Using critical review and integration, the authors consolidate existing literature and best practices to explore, develop and propose strategies for integrating EQ and SQ into the workplace. Findings Building upon existing theory and literature, the authors present a model of understanding both EQ and SQ. A generalized four-step process is presented for building EQ/SQ capabilities within the firm. Originality/value This study explores the synergy between an employee’s leadership skills and the ability to exhibit EQ and SQ. This research can provide corporations with tangible and targeted ways to enhance their EQ and SQ in their leaders. Firms can improve leveraging individuals with high SQ, in addition to providing SQ training to employees to improve individuals’ SQ.

领导力:情商和精神智商的结合

强领导力沟通的一个关键方面是发展情绪(EQ)和精神智力(SQ)。情商帮助个人更有同理心和效率，而SQ则促进对自身以外影响的理解。本文旨在探讨领导沟通与情商和SQ之间的关系。企业可以利用高情商和高智商的领导者，或者为员工提供情商和高智商的培训。通过批判性的回顾和整合，作者整合了现有的文献和最佳实践，探索、发展和提出了将情商和情商整合到工作场所的策略。在现有理论和文献的基础上，作者提出了一个理解情商和情商的模型。本文提出了在企业内部建立EQ/SQ能力的通用四步流程。独创性/价值本研究探讨了员工的领导技能与情商和情商之间的协同作用。本研究可以为企业提供切实的、有针对性的方法来提高其领导者的情商和SQ。除了为员工提供SQ培训以提高个体的SQ外，企业还可以改进对SQ高的个体的利用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Business Strategy publishes articles with a practical focus designed to help readers develop successful business strategies. Articles should say something new or different and may propose a unique perspective. They should not offer prescriptions to CEOs on how to manage, but rather be directed toward middle and senior managers at companies of all sizes and types, as well as consultants and academics who want to think about their businesses in new ways. Coverage: As one of the few journals dedicated to business strategy, JBS defines strategy in the broadest sense and thus covers topics as diverse as marketing strategy, innovation, developments in the global economy, mergers & acquisition integration and human resources. We have a penchant for substantive, provocative and well-written articles. We also like to break the mould and include articles on topics readers are unlikely to find in other business publications.
