The 2 videos were about what emotions were basedand the following rational leads to conclusion. Kevin Roberts noted that the best way to learn and perhaps by failing. I cant disagree with that statement as i find my whole life is mostly full of such processes. One of the biggest problem i have since i was a kid is to contain my excitement or my anger. Since i am always a person who stays true to who i really am, it’s really tough to know when i should or should not release these emotions.
Kevin Roberts then proceeded to talk about having a ‘dream’ which leads to the establishments of goals and objectives of companies. It is also important for any business to contribute something positive in the world. As i have yet to own my own company or business, i wondered if the same can be applied for my own social soccer team that i am managing at the moment. Frankly, it did started out with a ‘dream’ before i proceeded to set goals and objectives on a six months term basis. After 3 months of managing my soccer team, i am overseeing several functions like financing, marketing, communicating and making any final decisions. At the same time, i delegate some duties to able partners of the team and things are looking for my team! If you are curious, please check out www.jawssc.com
The second video was about an interview with Daniel Goleman about his experience as a psychologist. I understood from him that it is important to show empathy as a great leader. By listening more from others’ perspective and then putting their outputs into ideas that suit your objectives and direction will produce a better result or performance. Social intelligence is about how well can one interpret other people’s emotions are showing empathy as well. I cant help but noticed that i do have quite a remarkable social intelligence and also a decent emotional intelligence. These are the qualities that help me to stand out as a leader in various aspects of my life so far: Love, Family, Football and School. I only hope that i can continue to further develop all of these components to be an outstanding leader one day!
