Interview with Dr. Yosi Amram, author of Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired

Growing up in a Jewish home in war-stricken Israel, Yosi Amram
received early exposure to religious fundamentalism, war, and
trauma that came from them. Now, Dr. Amram is a licensed clinical
psychologist, a CEO leadership coach, author, and a pioneering
researcher in the field of Spiritual Intelligence.


I recently had the chance to talk to Yosi about his life
experiences, research, advice for business owners and employees
who would like to implement his insights on spiritual
intelligence into their life and work, and his book “Spiritually
Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired”. In our
conversation, we talk about the following:


What spiritual intelligence is and how it differs from and
complements emotional intelligence

How you can implement principles of spiritual intelligence
into your work if you are unhappy, stressed, or considering a
career change

How leaders can use principles of spiritual intelligence to
make positive changes in their organization and challenge
unhelpful bureaucratic procedures

How his background in the military, CEO, and Harvard MBA
helped influence his teachings and practices on leadership

How to start and run a business that implements principles of
spiritually intelligent leadership



Yosi not only talks about how you can incorporate principles into
your spiritual life; but also your work and professional life to
make changes on an individual and organizational level.


We also spend some time talking about how to implement these
principles to international war, including the current conflict
between Israel and Hamas based on what he learned in the Israel
military.
