#Individuals Trivia no.72

Introduction to Emotional and Social Intelligence (Social Capital)

Leadership is an intensely human experience. A large part of what makes us human is our emotions and our emotional responses to others as well as the situations we find ourselves in.

If leadership is about influencing others, then a leader should be well versed in understanding their own emotions as well as the emotional responses we elicit from influencing others. As leaders, we also need to understand which emotional states, both our own and those of others, are more likely to allow us to elicit the responses required to help us reach the common goal we have with our followers.

On a practical level, we also need to understand social context and social interaction in order to provide us with cues as to what behaviors are appropriate and when. In this regard, understanding the elements of effective communication is essential in conveying exactly what we intend to express in our interactions, and for ensuring these match the context in which we are communicating.

Finally, we need to understand that we, as leaders, do not exist in isolation but within networks of other people and these networks help us to help ourselves and our followers. Developing other people and these networks help ourselves and our followers. Developing and maintaining networks is a critical leadership skill.
