  3. What is Spiritual Intelligence? “Spiritual intelligence represents our drive for meaning and connection with the infinite. It is the central and most fundamental of all the intelligences because it becomes the source of guidance for the other three (…physical, mental and emotional)” Stephen Covey “Spiritual intelligence is the intelligence with which we access our deepest meanings, values, purposes and higher motivations” Material Capital IQ Rational Intelligence What I Think Social Capital EQ Emotional Intelligence What I Feel Spiritual Capital SQ Spiritual Intelligence What I Am Danah Zohar and Ian Marshall

  4. Is SQ important in business? xQ Survey – Franklin Covey & Harris Interactive: 23,000 US Workers Only 1 in 5 workers are enthusiastic about their teams or organisations goals Only 50% are satisfied with the work they have accomplished at the end of the week Only 15% felt they worked in a high trust environment Only 17% felt their organisation fosters open, respectful communication “Welth v Wealth” “To Be Well v To Have a Great Store of Money” “Avoidance of choice is a deeper denial of our humanity than actively to chose the bad” Zohar & Marshall London University – Institute of Education Survey – Nov 05 : Only 20% of fathers said they had no complaints about the amount of time they could devote to their offspring” Corporate Research Forum – Nov 05 – Reviewing the Learning Declaration of 1998 “The overall view seemed to be that too much training and development wasn't working because it was focused on controlling the individual rather than encouraging questions and discussion” “A number of scientists we interviewed have very serious spiritual practices that they regard as integral to their science …..but most of them do not feel safe talking about it” Senge et al BusinessWeek wrote, “Drucker was the first to assert that workers should be treated as assets not expenses. He originated the view of the corporation as a human community (in the 1950’s) built on trust and respect for the worker and not just a profit-making machine.”
