Zohar studied Physics and Philosophy at MIT and did postgraduate work in Philosophy, Religion & Psychology at Harvard University. She is Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management, Beijing, the China Art Academy in Hanzhou, and an Entrepreneurial Mentor at Haier, China. She was included in the 2002 Financial Times Prentice Hall book Business Minds as one of "the world's 50 greatest management thinkers".^[1]

Zohar proposed spiritual intelligence as an aspect of intelligence that sits above the traditional measure of IQ and various notions of emotional intelligence, at the conscious level of meaning and purpose. Her 12 Principles of Spiritual Intelligence are derived from the properties of complex adaptive systems, which she describes as living quantum systems. Zohar originated Quantum Management Theory and advocates the new paradigm arising from quantum physics and the properties of nonlinear complex adaptive systems as a guiding model for personal psychology, corporate, and social systems as a 21st century replacement for the deterministic mechanics and machine metaphor found in the scientific management of Frederick Winslow Taylor and other early management thinkers.
