When you think of a "perfect leader," what comes to mind?

You might picture someone who never lets his temper get out of control, no matter what problems he's facing. Or you might think of someone who has the complete trust of her staff, listens to her team, is easy to talk to, and always makes careful, informed decisions. These are qualities of someone with a high degree of emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, and those of the people around you. People with a high degree of emotional intelligence know what they're feeling, what their emotions mean, and how these emotions can affect other people. 

For leaders, having emotional intelligence is essential for success. After all, who is more likely to succeed – a leader who shouts at his team when he's under stress, or a leader who stay in control, and calmly assesses the situation?

Has Education become Business now-a- days…

“Education is the transformation  of civilization”. Gone are day when education was keepsake, benefaction…and Guru’s were so keen to educate their students to make them the best of the world… We still remember teachers who seemed to be on a mission, a sort of camping to educate, who wanted kids to open their minds to the possibilities around them. They were our counselors, our mentors, the ones who guided us and listened to our sometimes extremely ridiculous ideas. But it seems really pity that in today's competitive world education has taken new face that is business. Now everything is becoming business. Donation of the college, school, or institute is such that it is not possible for middle class person to afford it, and at last left uneducated, hence, called as illiterate… Education has become a business – not that ‘business’ is a bad thing. It is just that schools and universities have become such commercial enterprises that everything is measured in terms of ...

Who you are???

Who are you? It's a question that people have been trying to answer for centuries. We often identify ourselves by the things we own or the things we've accomplished. We might say, "I'm a lawyer," or "I'm a doctor," or "I went to Harvard." But the truth is, you are not what you owe, nor are you your education, your status, or any other external marker of success. The only thing that truly reveals what kind of person you are is how you behave in difficult or unlikeable situations. When things don't go your way, when you're faced with adversity, or when you're dealing with people who challenge you, how do you respond? If you behave poorly in those situations, it says a lot about your character. It suggests that you're not capable of handling stress or discomfort, that you lack emotional intelligence, and that you might not be trustworthy. People who act badly when things get tough are often seen as cowardly, fearful, and unauth...

Gender Sensitivity...

“If someone believes they are limited by their gender, race or background, they will become more limited.” Gender sensitivity is the act of being aware of the ways people think about gender so that individuals rely less on assumptions about traditional and outdated views on the roles of men and women. The phrase ‘gender sensitivity’ is perhaps an unfortunate piece of jargon, but it is convenient shorthand since a better, simpler and less loaded phrase does not yet present itself. As most people know, but many still do not fully grasp, ‘sex’ refers to biological differences, while ‘gender’ describes the characteristics that a society or culture dense as masculine or feminine. So in one sense, being sensitive to gender is not a matter of nicety or manners, but very much correlated with being sensitive to culture. General Dos & Don’ts on Gender and Peace-building Some Dos Do understand that unintended and counter-productive gender-specific effect the so...
