It is missing love.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NIV
[1] If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. [2] If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. [3] If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is part of compassion ?

Love is part of compassion ?

Compassion can be similar to mutual respect. However, the love that "god is" is described as the type of love that gives and gives and gives, contrasted to the love that only takes, and the love of mutual exchange.

Without love, it wouldn't matter.

It's in the greek words that are translated into the english word.

I'd recommend a tool such as www.blueletterbible.org.

First search for the word, then pay attention to the numbers beside the words, then search by number.

by the way, thanks for sharing that article about SP. I’ve always suspected spirituality was an important leadership trait but I’ve never really read about it. I am encouraged to really embrace my faith more now at work. Haha

TRUE LEADERSHIP - SQ+EQ+IQ+PQ = SUCCESS

Higher power can mean several things!

Christianity speaks of being wise and full of wisdom - to be slow to anger.

Christianity speaks of understanding - having control over your choices, over your flesh.

Christianity tells one to love/respect their neighbor - lets us know we are limited - tells us to be aware we are spiritual beings in flesh bodies and we must serve the Father God and in spirit and in truth.

Christianity tells us to be good leaders honest and fair - to make wise and righteous decisions - the flow of life is the creator of life and he always wants us to be one with him.

SQ seems to be lacking God - a government, or boss can be a higher power.

this link? TRUE LEADERSHIP - SQ+EQ+IQ+PQ = SUCCESS

this link? TRUE LEADERSHIP - SQ+EQ+IQ+PQ = SUCCESS

All of that is taught in the Bible - down to the PQ.
The only thing that's different is God is not in this equation. It seems to be appling only with human to human and self.
The bilble teaches applying the principles of SQ+EQ+IQ+PQ in the human heart to God first, these things would automatically fall down to one's self and others, one would constantly be seeking wisdom and improvement and awareness - and some will become great leaders, teachers, workers - all cannot be leaders but can be successful in their endeavors, whatever they may be.

All of these bullet points are New Age in concept. They all involve self first. Christianity is selflessness. That being said, unconditional love towards our Creator, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, God in the flesh, Father, is first and foremost and self is last.
Blessings

What does the Bible, the word of God, say constitutes wisdom and spiritual intelligence? What you've quoted above is NOT what God says is "spiritual intelligence." In fact, the Bible never uses this term, instead connecting everything about our spiritual life to the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, whose "temple" we are. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

The quotation above that you've supplied is oriented at every turn upon the human individual, rather than upon God. But there is no spiritual life, no "spiritual intelligence," that doesn't reside in and arise from God. Only to the degree a person is submitted to, and living in loving, joyful obedience under, God's will and way, are they "spiritually intelligent."

• A truly spiritual person has abandoned their own worldview, purposes, values and control and adopted God's instead. (Romans 6:13-22; Romans 8:14; Romans 12:1; Colossians 3:1-3; 1 Peter 5:6)

• A truly spiritual person has left off "self-mastery," recognizing that only in the power of the Holy Spirit can the sort of change occur that God wants. Such a person doesn't rely upon a "higher power" but upon their Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ, who lives within them in the Person of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 3:16; Romans 8:13; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 2:13). They take up his purposes, values and vision, guided and mastered by him, not themselves.

• The truly spiritual person recognizes that all worldviews that aren't centered upon Jesus Christ, God incarnate, are destructive counterfeits, leading millions of people to eternal hell. The only real "transcendental oneness" that one can - and must - achieve is with him, the Savior of their souls, forsaking false religion and New Age mysticism for Jesus who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:3-4; John 3:36)

• The truly spiritual person realizes they are nothing, in-and-of themselves (John 15:4-5). What wisdom they possess has come to them from God; what spiritual principles they understand they have been made to understand by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10-16; John 16:13); what leadership role they may step into, they are enabled to fulfill by the power of God (Philippians 2:13; Philippians 4:13), demonstrating His compassion and grace, aligned, not with the "ebb and flow of life" but with His will and way (Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 2 Corinthians 2:14-15).

They are not wrong principals, we all need to act with compassion, and be mindful of one another. As the bible says:

Tit 3:2-4 to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men. For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,

It doesn't mention Christ. Sounds almost new age-y to me.
