    I heard people with social anxiety usually have this intelligence.

    @mjpitche I think it does sometimes happen that an employee pulls the wool over management’s eyes. However, management who are emotionally and socially intelligent themselves eventually see through it. I would say true emotional/social intelligence is not separate from integrity. It’s the difference between character and personality. @sibzism, I believe that situation and audience can make things harder or easier but not impossible. Honesty empathy begets the same.

    It’s a shame some of the most valuable, most intelligent, hard working, and skilled employees get passed over in favor of the bubbly, overly positive, bullshit artists who lack any skills other than social. I think social skills are important but that passion and hard work are more important. Who said life was fair though.

    Genius.

    Umm…none of this is new NOR is it empirically robust in research! Women have been BEING ‘emotionally intelligent’ for centuries! But emotional intelligence without the right situational correlates and the right responding audience is nothing! (and you cant pick your audience…especially in organisations!) Plus, I read the study about “correlations”…and we all know that correlation does not imply causation…there are other things that can account for that!

    This is just a new fad!!

    Daniel Goleman is a straight up genius, no doubts about it.

  10. macauvoice says:

    Emotional & social intelligence have to be anchored on virtue and good ethics in order to have lasting effects on persons.

  11. icorbera says:

    All the emotional and social intelligence concepts are excellent. But are they easy to apply? I think the hardest thing to do is to put all this concepts in our day-to-day life.

    No manager wants success completely defined on the company’s terms. They want success defined by their own terms too.

    This is really helpful! As a leader, you should be able to assess your team’s performance, how it can be better, its strengths and shortcomings, and find ways on how to make it better.

    Thank you for sharing this video!

    @jamel11234 Sounds like you are assuming what’s reported in the media is the status quo. I’d be naive to not believe what you say in the political and corporate world isn’t going on. But it always isn’t the case (ie, name your favorite politician, Chik-Fil-A’s CEO, etc). But, I agree, but on a different point: the problem with such courses are that they give lofty platitudes and concepts, but no real practical training. We know what to believe (preaching to the choir?), not what to do.

    Great video! I think leadership definitely begins by improving oneself, both by addressing weaknesses & streamlining strengths. How can we inspire followership if we aren’t inspired enough to build ourselves from within humbly & sensibly? We have to start at the beginning, that is, true self-esteem (Not vain-glorious self-promotion). Now, how do we get there? Well, the only way is through self-knowledge & personal growth. Visit QuLearn’s channel for an exploration of these & other topics. Thanks

    @berner just being brutally honest… then who would the leaders lead?

    I believe that all children should be taught leadership from the age of 8.
