Abstract: Abstract This chapter is a personal reflection on leadership amid the COVID-crisis, a typical black swan event. The reflections are framed by four forms of “intelligence” namely (8.1) social intelligence, (8.2) sympathetic intelligence, (8.3) actionable intelligence, and (8.4) “futuring” intelligence. “Intelligence” does not refer to traditional ideas about IQ. It rather refers to the ability to interpret the environment at a specific point in time, choose and adjust leadership competencies appropriate to the context, and take effective action that best addresses the situation. Each form of intelligence functions optimally if held in cross-embeddedness to the others.
