University-based leadership development programs have long included a focus on human intelligence and emotional intelligence to foster subject and relationship competence, respectively. In response to the need to develop leaders with a strong sense of individual purpose, vision, and values who can meet the challenges of a volatile business environment, spiritual intelligence, a measure of inner resilience, is being added to executive training curricula. All three elements were addressed in a four-year leadership development program conducted through the University of Alberta for the Alberta Heath Services and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The results of post-program self-assessments and 360-degree evaluations of the 160 program participants highlight the value of this three-tier training method in molding a new generation of resilient leaders.
