KECERDASAN EMOSIONAL DAN SPIRITUAL DALAM KEPEMIMPINAN KRISTEN: ANALISIS INTEGRATIF TERHADAP FILIPI 2:1-11 DAN TEORI GOLEMAN UNTUK EFEKTIVITAS PEMIMPIN GEREJA KONTEMPORER

Contemporary church leadership faces an effectiveness crisis characterized by internal conflicts, low congregational trust, and weak relational competencies of leaders. This study aims to analyze and integrate emotional and spiritual intelligence based on Goleman's theory with the kenosis leadership paradigm in Philippians 2:1-11 to formulate a holistic Christian leadership framework. Using qualitative methods with integrative biblical-theological analysis, this research explores Philippians 2:1-11 through in-depth exegesis and integrates it with Goleman's emotional-spiritual intelligence theory through systematic literature review. The results show that Christ's kenosis exemplifies all five of Goleman's emotional intelligence competencies perfectly: self-awareness without arrogance, extraordinary self-management, intrinsic transcendent motivation, profound empathy, and transformative social skills, with the spiritual dimension as foundation. The resulting leadership framework emphasizes holistic development including spiritual formation, biblical self-awareness, mature emotional management, transcendent motivation, Christian empathy, and trained relational skills. Practical implications include integrating emotional-spiritual intelligence development in church leadership training curriculum through coaching, supervision, and periodic spiritual renewal.
