intelligence that deals with group interaction
Social competence encompasses social-awareness and

The whole brain converges to form social intelligence
with an emphasis in the pre-frontal cortex, Amygdala,
thalamus, and brain stem.
A blend of cognitive, emotional, and social intelligence
are necessary at higher levels of leadership.
