Today's leadership landscape is dynamic and challenging. Earlier theories and assumptions appear to be inadequate and over simplistic in their ability to flex with the volatility and complexity of organizations which function in a knowledge economy at a local, national and global level. This paper offers a working model of contextual intelligence for practitioners, which extends the non-Newtonianbased leadership paradigms by integrating the principles of tacit knowledge, synchronicity and time orientation: essential competencies for today's leaders.
