  1. Chapter 9 Intelligence and Creativity

  2. Chapter Goals • The goal of this chapter is to look at the research that has been done on the relationship between intelligence and leadership, as well as the relationship between leadership and creativity.

  3. Intelligence • Intelligence is a person’s all-around effectiveness in activities directed by thought. • Intelligence is relatively difficult to change. • Intelligence can be and is modified through education and experience.

  4. Theories assessing the nature of intelligence: • Intelligence is a unitary ability. • Intelligence involves a collection of related mental abilities. • Intelligence is based more on the process by which people do complex work rather than the number of mental abilities.

  5. The unitary view • The unitary view is founded on findings early in this century that individuals’ scores on different types of intelligence were all positively correlated – a person doing well on a vocabulary test was likely to do well on a memory or numeric reasoning test and vice versa.

  6. The multiple intelligence’s view • The multiple intelligence’s view is based on common observations of people and finds that every person possesses linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal intelligence.

  7. Dark-side Personality Traits • Dark-side personality traits are irritating or counterproductive behavioral tendencies which interfere with a leader’s ability to form cohesive teams and cause followers to exert less effort towards goal accomplishment.

  8. Personality Traits • Preferences distinguish one personality from another, based on four basic dimensions: • extraversion-and-introversion • sensing-and-intuition • thinking-and-feeling • judging-and-perceiving
