Mo Gawdat’s Model of Intelligence
The New Blueprint for Start-up Leadership

Artificial intelligence may accelerate industries, but human intelligence still determines which founders rise, innovate and remain relevant.
In a world shaped by algorithms, automation and rapid digital disruption, the most powerful asset in your start-up is not your product. It is you.
Traditional leadership models were not designed for this era.
Founders are now required to navigate technology, lead diverse teams, make data-informed decisions and stay grounded in purpose and values. This is why Mo Gawdat’s Model of Intelligence has become essential reading for modern start-up leaders.
This feature explores the five intelligences every founder must activate:
Intellectual Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence
Creative Intelligence
Spiritual Intelligence
Happiness Intelligence
Together, they create the mental architecture that supports resilience, innovation and growth in an AI-accelerated world.
If you are building a business that must withstand complexity, scale with integrity and remain competitive in a fast-changing landscape, this piece offers the strategic clarity you need.
