Is Good Leadership Selfless?
Leadership also includes looking for leadership potential in
others.
By developing leadership skills within your team, you create an
environment where you can continue success in the long term.
Is this a true measure of great/enduring leadership?

In recent years there has been huge interest in what is called
"emotional intelligence" (EQ as opposed to IQ).
Emotional intelligence is the ability to communicate with others
at an emotional level, to use emotions to help guide decision
making, to be able to regulate emotions, & possessing
knowledge about emotions and emotional processes.
Is EQ related to leadership? Yes, to some extent.
It's important for creating good relationships between
leaders and followers, and charismatic leaders seem to
have an extraordinary ability to communicate at the
emotional level. Again, however, the relationship
between EQ and leadership is significant but small.

There is another form of intelligence that is important for
leaders, and it has not received much attention to date.
Social Intelligence is the ability to understand social situations,
to play social roles, and to influence others.
It involves being able to see others' perspectives and to
understand the complex and abstract social norms, or informal
"rules" that govern all types of social situations.
Social intelligence is what some refer to as "street
smarts" or "everyday intelligence."

Research suggests that social intelligence may be the most
important type of intelligence for leaders.
So, how does this relate to those of us in or aspiring to leadership
positions?
The good news is that the last two forms of intelligence,
emotional & social, are pliable. They can be developed.
EQ and SQ both relate to interpersonal skills, & the
more we develop our interpersonal or people skills, the
more we will enhance our emotional & social
intelligences.
