Social Intelligence

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

“When a blind man leads a blind man, they both fall in the ditch. Why not be the somebody with sight, and run past them both.”

~ The Bible on on social intelligence

Social intelligence is the ability to avoid wasting time and energy on people who can't give enough in return. It's essentially efficient handling of the obstacles that other people represent.

[edit] Low social intelligence

Those with little or no social intelligence often are sensitive about the feelings of others, where empathy might lead to self-destructive behaviour as not keeping everything for yourself, helping others to where you are now (dragging yourself backwards towards their level), and trying to understand the confusing and misleading feelings of others.

[edit] Social Intelligence and successful leadership

All prominent leaders get to where they are by having an exceptionally high social intelligence, getting ahead of others by putting themselves first. This is especially true for business leaders. By having no concern for the feelings of others and a complete disregard for any sense of social obligation, they are able to cut wages and hold off maternity leaves, boosting productivity and economic gain by the hundreds. With less social intelligence, they wouldn't understand how much employees needs and concerns affect the world surrounding them. With their insight, socially intelligent people protect the world from those who inhabit it.
