How is intelligence related to leadership?
What will be an ideal response?
In a review of 33 studies, Ralph Stogdill found that leaders were more intelligent than followers. One significant finding, however, was that extreme intelligence differences between leaders and followers might be dysfunctional. For example, a leader with a relatively high IQ attempting to influence a group whose members have average IQs may be unable to understand why the members don't comprehend the problem. In addition, such a leader may have difficulty communicating ideas and policies. A 2007 study examined the relationship between leader ability and IQ in a population of police officers and suggested that although IQ is important for leaders; emotional intelligence (covered in Chapter 4) is a better predictor of leadership ability in certain contexts.
