 Dear students, I welcome you in the course of Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and the CN making. This is module number 82 and we are talking about what makes a leader. Can emotional intelligence be learned? This article is written by Dan Goldman and Dan Goldman is there to define to us and elaborate with us that what are the factors necessary to establish emotional intelligence. There is a debate related to emotional intelligence and that debate is that either the emotional intelligence is by birth a part of someone's personality or you acquire that emotional intelligence with the passage of time. This debate is just like that either the leaders are born or made. So leaders can be trained, leaders can be developed to have higher levels of emotional intelligence and also remember that everyone among us is having some elements of emotional intelligence as human beings and that emotional intelligence can obviously enhanced by training and development. So emotional intelligence can be learned through practice and the emotional intelligence can also increase with age. As you become more mature your emotional intelligence context becomes more mature as well. At the same time remember that when we talk about emotional intelligence emotional intelligence lies in that limbic system of our mind and brain and obviously it requires motivation practice and the feedback. These are the three important things which are going to trigger the emotional intelligence for the human beings and particularly we are focusing upon the leader. Now when we talk about emotional intelligence remember that the emotional intelligence is basically a sincere desire and concerned effort of the leader for the followers. Secondly remember that emotional intelligence can be better enabled and enhanced through prolonged practice. The third important thing to remember is that enthusiasm and determination are also going to trigger the emotional intelligence. And fourth remember one thing that persistence and resilience are very important parts of emotional intelligence and as we all may know that the emotional intelligence is no doubt composed of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills and we just cannot ignore any one of these ingredients in our recipe of becoming effective leader. Dear students if we conclude the whole discussion remember that emotional intelligence requires our utmost attention and that attention is there when we are having our enthusiasm, determination, resilience and persistence and that would obviously increase emotional intelligence and will become more effective later. Thank you.
