Strong emotional intelligence and outstanding interpersonal skills are important qualities needed in a good leader. Emotional intelligence allows the leader of a group to communicate and connect with others effectively. The successes of our interactions with others depend on the way we communicate with them: The basis of any relationship is communication – be it sign language, body language, e-mail, or face-to-face conversation. To appreciate the value of emotional intelligence the leaders must have the ability to reveal emotional intelligence through their communication and style. Increasing our own self awareness: The first step toward emotional intelligence is self-awareness. Leaders have to realize that we can develop our emotional intelligence and improve our leadership communication abilities by understanding our strengths and weaknesses first.
It is necessary to improve nonverbal skills: Nonverbal expressions are usually categorized into one of the following groups: Appearance, Paralanguage, Kinesics, Occulesics, Proxemics, Facial expressions, Olfactics, and Chronomics. The meaning of nonverbal communication involving body language differs substantially from culture to culture. Improving listening skills: Good listening skills are essential, and the lack of them hinders many people’s careers. Most do not realize that good listening is harder than it sounds.
Motivating and Mentoring: Leaders need to be particularly sensitive to the feelings of others and be able to establish ways to motivate and guide them that work with our personality and with theirs. Today it is a necessary part of doing business in all professions. By making the time to network, we learn and find new opportunities that help us build the relationships that may be essential to advance in many career areas.
