Executive Intelligence zeros in on leadership smarts and notes that in all lists compiled by leadership experts, head hunters, and boards of directors the one and only trait that appears in all is intelligence. Obvious? No, because typically leadership savvy regularly trumps smarts. That is unfortunate because it obscures the cultivation and development of how leaders think, speculate, conceive, and problem solve their own firms and the way they lead. Executive intelligence like emotional intelligence acts like an advanced scout sizing up situations, identifying mine fields, creating contingencies, developing last minute ways out, and then acting like the artful dodger. In the process, the leader develops a special kind of intelligence tied to and defining the kind if leader he or she is; and that ultimately generates the leader's edge and comparative advantage.

Reviews for Executive Intelligence
Some might consider Executive Intelligence to be the ultimate oxymoron, but Irving Buchen shows that leadership intelligence can be developed and that, indeed, applied intelligence is the stuff of authentic leadership. Bravo!
Ken Shelton, editor, Leadership Intelligence Dr. Buchen's book is both big and bold—in range and depth. Most leadership studies offer one or two ideas often puffed up to justify publication as a separate volume. But this is a cornucopia of smart leader applications. It is about time that the special intelligence of leaders is appreciated and credited with its impact on successful companies. In fact, I am planning to purchase a copy for everyone of my vice presidents.
Paul Gilbert, CEO of Medvanti In a global world, intelligence is truly the leader's edge and the source of commercial success. Dr. Buchen captures and examines the nature of such smarts and links it to a series of applications that leaders will value and tap.
Shamir Andrew Ally, International Consulting and Financial Services Dr. Buchen's approach to his subject is both vigorous and inspiring, comprehensive and focused. He outlines visions of leadership to which all should aspire
