Abstract

Leadership  skills  can  be  perceived  to  be  inborn, but  can  also  be  developed, as  one  moves  up  the  corporate  ladder. Social  intelligence  is  a  skill  which  can  fuel  leadership  capabilities. It  has  been  observed  that, leadership  and  social  intelligence  can  be  correlated. Socially intelligent people tend to become popular leaders. Such  leaders  are  not  only  friendly  and  outgoing, but  can  also  motivate  people  towards  the  common  goal. They  possess  the  power  to  control performance  and  coordinate  their  team –mates  to  work  effectively  to  achieve  the  objectives. Such  leaders  also  have  the  skills  which  make  them  socially  acceptable, loved  and  adored. They  can  resolve  conflicts  amicably, without  creating  any  bad  blood  amongst  the  team  members. In  this  paper, I  have  endeavored  to  establish  the  correlation between  social  intelligence  and  leadership .
