IQ and EQ can take you to the top. But can they keep you there?

“My knowledge, experience, and sharp people skills have always helped me excel. But why aren’t they helping me now?”

“I’m so good at managing people. Why can’t I manage myself?”

Even the most seasoned leaders get these nagging questions, especially when faced with a massive challenge that shakes their confidence and self-belief.

And this inner conflict is not new.

Eons ago, Arjuna, too, felt the same on the Kurukshetra battlefield. Despite being one of the greatest, most experienced warriors, Arjuna was overcome with a flux of doubts and emotions when he came face-to-face with the Kaurava army.  

What turned Arjuna’s story around? 

Clarity of purpose.

IQ  can enhance performance.

EQ  can improve people's skills. 

But without knowing your Purpose, the ‘Why-you-do-everything-you-do,’ IQ and EQ can prove ineffective, especially during a crisis.

A well-shaped Spiritual Quotient (SQ) clarifies Purpose.

That’s why it’s imperative that leaders & coaches today embrace the third dimension of leadership - the Spiritual Quotient.

In this edition of Coach Guru, we bring clarity on why SQ completes a leader and the invaluable role of coaching in enhancing SQ.

Do ponder over your Purpose as you pore through these pages. Wishing you a Purpose-full day, year & life ahead!
