Back from a conversation with Danah Zohar - Spiritual Capital

Spiritually intelligent leadership can be fostered by applying 12 principles:

Self-Awareness: Knowing what I believe in and value, and what deeply motivates me

Spontaneity: Living in and being responsive to the moment

Being Vision- and Value-Led: Acting from principles and deep beliefs, and living accordingly

Holism: Seeing larger patterns, relationships, and connections; having a sense of belonging

Compassion: Having the quality of "feeling-with" and deep empathy

Celebration of Diversity: Valuing other people for their differences, not despite them

Field Independence: Standing against the crowd and having one's own convictions

Humility: Having the sense of being a player in a larger drama, of one's true place in the world

Tendency to Ask Fundamental "Why?" Questions: Needing to understand things and get to the bottom of them

Ability to Reframe: Standing back from a situation or problem and seeing the bigger picture; seeing problems in a wider context

Positive Use of Adversity: Learning and growing from mistakes, setbacks, and suffering

Sense of Vocation: Feeling called upon to serve, to give something back
