The  five components of Emotional Intelligence

2, People with a high degree of self-awareness know their weaknesses and aren't afraid to talk about them.

3, Social skill, by contrast,is friendliness with a purpose.

4, IQ and technical skills are important, but emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership.

5, One of the hallmarks of self-awareness is self-deprecating sense of humor.

6, The signs of emotional self-regulation, therefore, are easy to see : a propensity for reflection and thoughtfulness; comfort with ambiguity and change; and integrity--an ability to say no to impulsive urges.

7, By contrast, those with leadership potential are motivated by a deeply desire to achieve for the sake of achievement.

8, Limbic system governs feelings, impulses, and drives, while neocortex governs analytical and technical ability.

9, Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm, said Ralph Waldo Emerson.
