By observation, there are three main components that
compose what normally we define as intelligence:
memory, synthesis and analysis. That is,
a very intelligent person will have an incredible memory, he or she will be
able to gather information and give a meaning and context to it.
There is no scientific consensus on how to develop
intelligence, but it is observed that mental
exercise and stimulation coming from the need of the moment encourage this.
The point is you can develop
intelligence, as much as you want, although for a normal person that is crushed
by routine and a life without creativity.
It is not about the intelligence borne out of
schooling, but that capacity we all have as humans to figure out our way in
this world.
A leader will quickly gather all information needed,
reflect, reach a conclusion and then act.
This encourages creativity whilst at the same time provides structure
and focus so that everyone’s energy is best directed.
Over and above, a leader will be able to reach a point
where solutions can be found and it will serve as lessons to learn and as a
means of self-motivation.
