Social-Intelligence
Socially intelligent leaders are known for their interpersonal skills, relational aptitude and positivity. These personality traits are most beneficial to leading people effectively.
Sociability comes easily to people-oriented leaders. Relationships are important to them, and interactions allow them to express care, kindness and support. They regard people as more than resources; they're coworkers, even family.
Communication skills are more critical to organizational effectiveness than IQ or past accomplishments, emphasizes Alex "Sandy" Pentland, PhD, director of MIT's Human Dynamics Laboratory, in "The New Science of Building Teams" (Harvard Business Review, April 2012).
Socially intelligent leaders are humble and flexible enough to value others' views, and are open to feedback. Employees who work for open-minded leaders feel valued, which boosts morale and productivity.
Leaders who struggle with social intelligence have strained careers, but they can learn to shift their mindset toward the relational end of the scale.
