Abstract	This study introduces and empirically tests the Quantum Leadership Moderation Model (QLMM), proposing that Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) acts as a critical moderator that amplifies the positive effect of Quantum Leadership (QL) on Organizational Coherence. Through a quantitative, cross-sectional design with 169 U.S. financial sector leaders, we found a significant moderation effect (β = .18, p = .002). The relationship between QL and coherence was strong for leaders with high SQ (β = .59, p < .001) but considerably weaker for those with low SQ (β = .23, p = .015). The results demonstrate that SQ is not merely an auxiliary trait but an essential amplifier, enabling quantum leaders to transform systemic awareness into tangible ethical climates, relational trust, and adaptive capacity. The study advances leadership theory by integrating consciousness and field dynamics, highlighting the necessity of developing both quantum and spiritual intelligences to foster more coherent, resilient, and conscious organizations.
