This paper argues that metaphoric intelligence plays a major role in successful leadership. We are embarking on the understanding of metaphoric intelligence by reporting partial research surrounding successful metaphors that can potentially account for metaphoric intelligence. We analyzed recent ideas on the effective use of metaphors by leaders of countries, providing the reader with a useful, convenient base for investigation on the general role of metaphor in leadership, and the role of metaphoric intelligence as manifested in speeches for special purposes in particular. Only the first step in the direction of providing a comprehension of metaphoric intelligence for leadership, this paper opens a number of interesting avenues of future research. In particular, this study calls for more empirical research, especially research focusing on how metaphoric intelligence foster leadership's role in organization.
