strength, weaknesses, needs and drives.

2)Self-regulation
Emotions are driven by biological impulses. We
cant do away with them but we can manage them

People who have mastered there emotions are

able to role with the changes, they dont panic

No one wants to be known as a hothead when the

boss is known for his calm approach

Fewer bad moods at the top mean fewer

throughout the organization

3)Motivation
If there is one trait that all effective leaders have, it is
motivation

The key word here to achieve

Most of the people are motivated by external factors

such as big salary, status, title etc

But the leaders are motivated by deeply embedded

desire to achieve for the sake of achievement

4)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

5) Social skill
Social skill means friendliness with people for a purpose to move them
in the direction you desire

Social skilled people may at time appear not to be working while at

work and seems busy in building relations widely because they may
need help some day from people they are just getting to know today.

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

Can emotional intelligence be learned?
For ages people have debated if
leaders are born or made, so too
goes the debate about emotional
intelligence.
Are people born with certain level of
emotional intelligence or do they
acquire it, the answer is both
Can emotional intelligence be learned?
Scientific inquiry strongly suggests
that there is a genetic component to
emotional intelligence
Research and practice clearly
indicates that nurture play a role so
emotional intelligence can be
learned as well.
