Humans are equipped with five areas of intelligence combined in our body. A supervisor needs to use these different parts of the body to make good outcomes and be a great leader in the company. If a leader does not use this intelligence in the right order there could be a negative end result. Although each intelligence has important features and qualities; there are some that are ranking higher.
The most important aspect to consider when making a tough decision is mental intelligence. “The mental intelligence has a lot of the tools that are needed when clarifying and analyzing a situation” . It is important to be able to focus and figure out all areas of the situation to come to a great end result. Emotional intelligence is needed to put the complete focus on the end result. Emotions can determine how a reaction will be to the decision that is being made. If the emotions are negative; then the outcome will be as well.
Being able to involve physical intelligence into the mix of proper decision making will help in the end result. Having the physical ability to withstand the decision and stand tall after the end result has been determined is important. It is important for the outcome to be healthy and active. It is better to contemplate a scenario when one is feeling physically fit and not run down and tired. Using the physical intelligence will help keep the final decision on point. Having spiritual intelligence on board to determine the outcome of any type of issues is very useful. Being able to have followers trust you with the end result of the decision is important. Without trust, a leader would not be very valuable.
The final intelligence that is important to consider is social. Social intelligence is needed when other are involved in the final process of the decision and what it results in the end. Others in the company are to be considered and how each decision will impact them as well. A social outlook can assist in determining if the right decision is beneficial for everyone involved.
