The process of Intelligent Leadership

The notion of intelligent leadership is less to do with personal or emotional intelligence but is more to do with collective intelligence in applying knowledge and understanding to the practice of leading.

Intelligent leadership represents a fairly simple process that follows a traditional communication system. Intelligent relationships are at the core of this. The process begins with the identification of an issue or problem (Information) followed by a transition of data from Information to Intelligence (Analysis) with a view to correctly framing the problem or issue (Understanding). It thus draws problem solving and decision making within a collective framework from a shared contextual vision, deploying appropriate mechanisms though to desired collective outcomes.
