  • Lacking social intelligence, no other combination of competences is likely to get much traction. Along with whatever other strengths they may have, the must-have is social intelligence.

      Your views! Having worked at GMR and interacted closely with the family, I tend to agree with Daniel Goleman.
  • Why does social intelligence emerge as the make-or-break leadership skill set? For one, leadership is the art of accomplishing goals through other people.
  • As I've written with my colleague Richard Boyatzis, technical skills and self-mastery alone allow you to be an outstanding individual contributor. But to lead, you need an additional interpersonal skill set: you've got to listen, communicate, persuade, collaborate.

  • It is difficult to find renowned corporate leaders who fit this category because in business, typically, the Chameleons are weeded out before they reach the top.
  • There is no better example of what it really takes to be a Transcendent than the first black president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. He was able to soar above hatred for his white jailers, the political tug of the African National Congress, the pull of his racial and tribal group, and the rejection by the Afrikaners to build a South Africa for all South Africans. Now in his 90s, he is perhaps the world's greatest living leader.
  • No one is a pure Transcendent or a pure Opportunist. Rather, we are all a portfolio of the different types with one type being dominant. Even the Dalai Lama has to deal with the pull of his emotions when he makes decisions. And Madoff did his best to shield his wife and sons when he confessed his grand scheme to the FB

      Why for one... to search for such leaders ? How it helps? Why one need to take such help? Is there need for taking such help? If there are no Level so and so leaders... then what means ? One need not become leaders of so and so leaders.. ? Any attempt for one trying to search for Level,,,,, leaders is irrelevant when somebody set to develop one self level six leader. Especially national level students need not look for such examples.. dr mandi

    Asking the question, whom do you serve? is a powerful vector on which to build a useful typology of leadership. Visiting professor Modesto Maidique offers a six-level Purpose-Driven Model of Leadership ranging from Sociopath to Transcendent. Key concepts include: The most telling question to ask a leader is, whom do you serve? Yourself? Your group? Society? The answer to this question often reveals more about leaders than knowing their personality traits, level of achievement, or whether they were "transformational" or "transactional" leaders. The six levels of leadership are Sociopath, Opportunist, Chameleon, Achiever, Builder, and Transcendent.

      I agree social media can be THREAT... NO doubt.. But it is equally true that social media can BOOST the productivity and help the world too. It depends on how humans use it.. This is nothing peculiar to to social media alone. This is normal to everything in the world including the very existance of HUMANS in this world.. dr mandi

      Gartner's 6P framework neatly sums up corporate leadership and its orientation towards Social Media. Most of the Indian organisations are stil grappling with the first 3F's - folly, fear and flippant.
  • In companies where leaders have a forging attitude, the whole organization is starting to develop competence in using social media to assemble
