What is Spiritual Leadership Intelligence

This chapter explores the benefits of leveraging business strategies, which incorporate third culture-building approaches throughout the entire organizational ecosystem, with a deep dive into people management and leadership aspects. Third-culture kids who grew up to be working adults were influenced by their parental, organizational, and personal intercultural dynamics, fostering a strong personal identity enriched by their diverse lived experiences. Post-pandemic, there seems to be a high-demand trend for attracting talent with global capabilities and cross-cultural multidisciplinary leadership perspectives to conduct business across borders with greater ease and minimal training. Leaders and managers who can leverage mindsets associated with third culture perspectives are increasingly developing a competitive edge within multicultural organizations. Concepts in this chapter will deepen awareness, understanding, and appreciation for third culture mindsets, guided by mixed-methods doctoral dissertation research findings.
