The challenge to discover one’s unique significance by finding one’s voice was often the theme of management guru, Stephen R. Covey who passed away in 2012 but his message and its profound importance continue to resound as an invitation to young men and women to become the best version of themselves and to help others to grow and to flourish (Covey, 2005). The purpose of this paper is to build on the great significance of Covey’s insights and their application to spiritual intelligence, the capacity to activate the higher dimensions of intelligence in enriching one’s own life and in guiding the three other intelligences: physical intelligence, mental intelligence, and emotional intelligence. We begin this paper by defining the four intelligences that Covey cited as the foundation of each person’s life and identifying their importance in a world that Covey suggested has become knowledge-, information-, and wisdomdependent.
