Spiritual intelligence and mindfulness as sources of transformational leadership
Abstract
The transfer rate of transformational leadership training is considered marginal; it is
estimated that less than 30% of leaders who participate in the training change their behavior
once back in the workplace. Most quantitative investigations have focused on predictors of
transformational leadership, providing insufficient information about possible internal driving
forces that influence leaders to behave in a transformational manner; furthermore, some
correlations of those predictors with specific dimensions of transformational leadership have
not been thoroughly explained. In the present quantitative, survey-based, cross-sectional
research, we tested the effects of spiritual intelligence and mindfulness on transformational
leadership behavior patterns among a sample of 542 leaders in Peru, with the results
suggesting that mindfulness partially mediates the effects of spiritual intelligence on
transformational leadership. Based on these findings, we propose that introducing spiritual
intelligence and mindfulness training as part of the traditional curricula for transformational
leadership training will improve the transfer of knowledge to leaders
