A book review of Maccoby's The Leaders We Need: And What Makes Us Follow https://www.amazon.co.uk/Leaders-We-Need-Makes-Follow/dp/1422101665

n this context, "Personality Intelligence" best understood in terms of certain qualities that add up to a leader's personality. The leaders we need have it or can develop it with proper supervision and support. They also have or can develop "Strategic Intelligence" which is an interactive mix of analytic, practical, and creative elements that are needed to anticipate future trends, think systematically, understand how to design effective social systems, communicate meaning and purpose to motivate and educator collaborators, and partner with other types of leaders who complement these strengths.

Curiously, there is no reference in this book to the research of Howard Gardner who has made a number of valuable contributions to our understanding of multiple intelligences....

The omission of Gardner on this subject may be indicative of Maccoby's emphasis.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_intelligence

Strategic intelligence (STRATINT) pertains both to the collection, processing, analysis, and dissemination of intelligence that is required for forming policy and military plans at the national and international level and to qualities that equip leaders to be effective strategists.
