The practice of authentic leadership can serve as a free solution for organizations to achieve strategic intelligence in dynamic, important, rapidly changing markets in light of globalization and global competition. The study aimed to investigate the impact of authentic leadership with its dimensions (Self-Awareness, Balanced Processing, Ethical Perspective, and Relational Transparency), on strategic intelligence with its dimensions (Foresight, Systems Thinking, Future Vision, Partnership) at the Specialty Hospital in Amman-Jordan. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach; the study was conducted on a sample of 80 managers and supervisors in middle and operational management. The results of the study indicated that there are high levels of interest in the dimensions of authentic leadership and strategic intelligence by hospital managers. The results also showed that authentic leadership had a significant impact on strategic intelligence and its dimensions. The study recommended the administrative leaders in the Specialty Hospital to adopt authentic leadership behaviors, such as encouraging an honest and open environment with others, listening to and accepting the opinions of followers, exchanging information openly with them, and giving them the opportunity freely participate in their opinions and ideas in the decision-making process.
