SUMMARY:Poetic Intelligence – Discovering Poetry as a Leadership Skill
DESCRIPTION:This speech introduces “Poetic Intelligence” as the essential modern “Ariadne’s Thread” for navigating a professional landscape increasingly dominated by Artificial Intelligence and cold technocratic logic, arguing that as algorithms take over analytical tasks, the human capacity for deep interpretation becomes our ultimate competitive advantage. It highlights a critical educational gap, noting that while Poetic Intelligence is absent from traditional academic curricula, there is a burgeoning international movement to integrate Poetry into University leadership programs to cultivate high-level cognitive skills. The presentation details four indispensable navigational abilities—metaphorical reasoning, sense-making, paradoxical thinking, and pattern recognition—that enable leaders to derive meaning where data alone fails. These concepts are grounded in practical experience through two case studies from experiential workshops: the analysis of Cavafy’s “The God Abandons Antony,” which redefines Change Management as the art of losing with dignity, and “Walls,” which serves as a metaphor for the limiting beliefs and cognitive biases that cloud modern decision-making. Ultimately, the speech advocates for Poetic Intelligence not as an aesthetic retreat, but as a rigorous Strategic Tool that empowers leaders to remain authentic, creative, and profoundly human in the age of AI.\n
