    Daniel Goleman is a psychologist who first worked on the concept of emotional intelligence. He argues that emotional intelligence is more important than IQ for leadership. His research of over 200 companies found that the most effective leaders score high on five factors of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill. Leaders need technical skills and cognitive abilities, but emotional intelligence is twice as important and is a threshold for effective leadership. Leaders can improve their emotional intelligence through training, practice, feedback, and focusing on their limbic system.

    David McClelland Research (1996, Food and


    Beverage Industry)
    Self Awareness
    Know thyself

    Understanding of Your
    Emotions and its
    effects.

    Self Assessment
    Self knowledge
    Self Deprecation
    Self Confidence
    Self Regulation

    Manage Your Emotions

    Self Regulation frees


    us from being Prisoners
    of our own Feelings.

    Thoughtfulness
    Change management
    Integrity
    Motivation:
    A passion to work for reasons that go beyond money or, status
    A propensity to pursue goals with energy and persistence

    The key word here to achieve:

    Most of the people are motivated by


    external factors such as big salary, status
    etc.
    But the leaders are motivated by deeply
    embedded desire to achieve for the sake of
    achievement.
    Empathy
    For a leader empathy does not mean to please every
    body that would be nightmare.
    It means considering employees feelings along with
    other factors in the process of making intelligence
    decision.

    Empathy is important today for three reasons


    1. The increasing use of teams
    2. The rapid pace of globalization
    3. The growing need to retain talent
    Social skill:

    Social skill means friendliness with


    people for a purpose to move them in
    the direction you desire

    Motivation contributes to social skill


    Social skill is the most important because
    leaders task is to get work done through other
    people that is difficult if he is unable to
    communicate properly.

    Social skill allows leader to put their emotional


    intelligence to work
