ENGLISH SUMMARY: Humanity finds itself in an era of profound technological advancements and rapid transformation in terms of the way society works, lives, communicates, and travels. Dubbed the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), the context is characterised by exponential technological progress, which in its velocity, breadth, depth, and systems impact is transforming entire systems, within and across companies, industries, society, and countries. Leadership and management practice, however, lags in its advancement of theory and practice comparable to 4IR’s exponential advancement. The cognitive processes, as the bedrock of leadership and management behaviour, highlight the centrality of the intelligence paradigm, referring in this context to the general mental capability, involving the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience. This study set out to understand how organisational leaders should prepare themselves to navigate 4IR, with the subsequent objective to establish a 4IR integrated intelligence taxonomy and measurement framework for top management. The methodological approach consisted of two parts. For Part 1, a Delphi study was undertaken to develop categories of intelligence deemed necessary for leadership and management practitioners to navigate 4IR, and, for Part 2, a measurement instrument was developed to operationalise the intelligences and test them empirically by means of partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The Delphi produced a 4IR Intelligence Taxonomy of nine themes. During the SEM process, three higher-order constructs were developed, each containing three of the nine themes, namely Episteme-Analytical Intelligence (Complexity Intelligence + Inquiry Intelligence + Critical Intelligence), Techne-Inventive Intelligence (Futures Intelligence + Adaptive Intelligence + Creative Intelligence), and Phronesis-Synergic Intelligence (Emotional Intelligence + Ethical Intelligence + Collaborative Intelligence). The final PLS-SEM results concluded that the measurement model adequately meets all the requirements for rejection of the null hypotheses, and the emerging model is thereby accepted as foundational theoretical model. The study concludes with a 4IR Integrated Intelligence Framework for top management indicating the three distinct domains, consisting of three sub-domains each, which make up the cognitive disposition in relation to navigating 4IR. Recommendations are for top management to undertake a 4IR cognitive disposition 360° assessment, cascade 4IR cognitive disposition assessments to next levels of management, increase the use of experiential learning for 4IR leadership development, increase the use of action learning for 4IR leadership development, establish a 4IR leadership development assessment centre, and live 4IR integrated intelligence practice values. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die mensdom bevind homself in 'n era van buitengewone tegnologiese vooruitgang en snelle transformasie wat betref die wyse waarop die samelewing werk, lewe, kommunikeer, en reis. Dit word die Vierde Industriele Revolusie (4IR) genoem, en die konteks daarvan word gekenmerk deur eksponensiele tegnologiese vooruitgang waarvan die snelheid, wydte, diepte en stelselsimpak hele stelsels transformeer – in en tussen maatskappye, industriee, die samelewing, en lande. Leierskap- en bestuurspraktyk raak egter agter wat teorie en praktyk betref as dit met 4IR se eksponensiele vooruitgang vergelyk word. Die kognitiewe prosesse, wat die grondslag van leierskap- en bestuursgedrag vorm, beklemtoon die belangrikheid van die intelligensieparadigma, wat in hierdie konteks na die algemene verstandelike vermoe verwys om die volgende te doen: te redeneer, beplan, probleme op te los, abstrak te dink, komplekse idees te verstaan, vinnig te leer, en deur ervaring te leer. Die doel van hierdie studie was om te verstaan hoe organisatoriese leiers hulself moet voorberei om hul pad deur 4IR te vind, met die gevolglike doelwit om 'n 4IR-geintegreerde intelligensie-taksonomie en metingsraamwerk vir topbestuur daar te stel. Die metodologiese benadering het uit twee dele bestaan. In Deel 1 is 'n Delphi-studie onderneem om kategoriee van intelligensie te ontwikkel wat volgens leierskap- en bestuurspraktisyns as noodsaaklik beskou word vir hantering van 4IR. In Deel 2 is 'n metingsinstrument ontwikkel om die intelligensies te operasionaliseer en empiries te toets deur gebruik te maak van gedeeltelike minste vierkante strukturele vergelykingsmodellering (PLS-SEM). Die Delphi-studie het 'n 4IR-intelligensietaksonomie met nege temas opgelewer. Tydens die SEM-proses is drie hoer-orde konstrukte ontwikkel wat elk drie van die nege temas bevat, naamlik Episteme-analitiese Intelligensie (Kompleksiteitsintelligensie + Ondersoekende intelligensie + Kritiese intelligensie), Tegne-vindingrykheidsintelligensie (Toekomsgerigte intelligensie + Aanpassings-intelligensie + Kreatiewe intelligensie), en Fronese-sinergetiese intelligensie (Emosionele intelligensie + Etiese intelligensie + Samewerkende intelligensie) [Episteme-Analytical Intelligence (Complexity Intelligence + Inquiry Intelligence + Critical Intelligence), Techne-Inventive Intelligence (Futures Intelligence + Adaptive Intelligence + Creative Intelligence), and Phronesis-Synergic Intelligence (Emotional Intelligence + Ethical Intelligence + Collaborative Intelligence)]. Die finale PLS-SEM resultate het aangedui dat die metingsmodel bevredigend aan al die vereistes voldoen het om die nul-hipoteses te verwerp, en dat die opkomende teoretiese model dus as grondslagmodel aanvaar kan word. Die studie sluit af met 'n 4IR-geintegreerde intelligensieraamwerk vir topbestuur wat die drie oorkoepelende domeine aandui wat nodig is vir die kognitiewe ingesteldheid om 4IR te kan hanteer. Elkeen van die drie hoofdomeine bestaan uit drie sub-domeine. Daar word aanbeveel dat topbestuur die 360°-assessering vir 4IR kognitiewe disposisie doen, die 4IR kognitiewe disposisie-assesserings na die volgende bestuursvlakke toe afwentel, die gebruik van ervaringsleer en aksie-leer verhoog om 4IR-leierskap te ontwikkel, 'n assesseringsentrum vir 4IR-leierskapontwikkeling vestig, en die 4IR-geintegreerde intelligensiepraktyke se waardes uitleef.
