We have all heard stories of numerous highly intelligent and skilled executives who got promoted into a leadership position only to fail at the job.
After reading numerous research papers to figure out what makes a great leader I realized that although every great leader has his/her own style of leadership they all have something extremely important in common. Great IQ or technical skills are definitely not the dividing line between a good and a great leader but are merely threshold measures which makes an individual qualify for leadership positions.

Well, then what is that one common factor that unites all the great leaders of the world?
They all have a very high degree of Emotional Intelligence.

I don’t know why but after ages I decided to login to my blog. To my surprise, the blog is receiving 1000+ views for the past few months. That is about enough to make a mediocre writer like me feel guilty enough to not blogging for a while. The world is too kind sometimes I guess.

So, the HOT topic right now for everyone around me is, “life after college”. We’re at that point in our lives where we’re giving our last engineering exams and right after this we take the plunge into the real world. Scary. Exciting. The last month has been filled with the “one-last-time” parties. Facebook feeds are plastered with albums, “will-miss-this/that” statuses. Farewell. Batch Parties. #placed.

Everyone seems to be getting jobs, internships or post-graduation offers and yet most of them seem to be confused about what they should be doing.

Bottom line, the question everyone seems to be asking is, “Which option do I choose? And given that I make my choice, how do I know for sure that 2-3 years down the line I won’t regret it?”
