When asked to define the ideal leader, many would emphasize traits such as intelligence, toughness, determination, and vision—the qualities traditionally associated with leadership. Such skills and smarts are necessary but insufficient qualities for the leader. Often left off the list are softer, more personal qualities—but they are also essential.
Psychologist and author Daniel Goleman first brought the term “emotional intelligence” to a wide audience with his 1995 book of the same name, and Goleman first applied the concept to business with this 1998 classic HBR article. In his research at nearly 200 large, global companies, Goleman found that truly effective leaders are distinguished by a high degree of emotional intelligence.
The chief components of emotional intelligence—self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill—can sound unbusinesslike, but Goleman, cochair of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations, based at Rutgers University, found direct ties between emotional intelligence and measurable business results.
Brilliant! Thank you
Wont be happening much for sometime till our privacy is intact.Till our Google search keywords are not unlooked into,our conversations are not unrecorded and till people are not unfollowed.This doesn't happen to normal leaders,this is not how they are judged for their competency
Empathy
Why Don't We Starting Call EMotional INtelligence As - 'Driven By 'Learnings', Secretions & Expressions - To - Drive D Organisations' - 'DLSE - DDO.'
SteveBakerHW I think you should start moving towards academics given that politics does not seem to favour you.
SteveBakerHW Like Elon Musk? As opposed to Barak Obama? Maybe low score on emotional intelligence is better. What did Obama actually achieve?
