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 .
