Emotionally competent people will be in demand because creating a relationship via the written word is a valuable skill in its own right. It's my first visit to your blog. Do keep up the good work.

Whilst I do believe that opportunities for human interaction are being reduced by the advancement of technology - specifically, online trading, the fact remains, as I have stated often enough, "people buy people first" For me the key skills for leadership are empathy, the ability to develop rapport easily, having an appropriate ego/empathy balance, vision and of course, courage. Your responses to both Paul and Jacqueline confirmed to me, not that I needed further proof, that you have the ability to make people feel good about themselves: This leads to greater confidence, which in turn results in superior performance. Here we witnessed "Emotional Competence" at work. J Nikki,

Emotional competence is a great phrase yet what is your definition of this? The more in touch we are with our own emotions means that we automatically inherit the ability to become more attuned to the emotions of others. That being said, I have met many people in my time who have been so wrapped up in their own emotional states that it dominates their communication with others. Jaqueline, love the whole feel of the website, it has an 'authoratitive' feel to it that conveys credibility and professionalism.

It was worth the wait. Interesting observation you make on the length of your titles. I worry one day a title may end up longer than the article! Just kidding. It is tough to capture the preciseness you want in fewer words, "Course correcting on route" just doesn't do it. But do keep filling up the Article Vault, there are some great treasures in there.
