Social intelligence is coded in our genes. We evolved as social beings throughout history. Our brain is wired in a way, craving for tribal connections. Our limbic system (the emotional part of the brain) is designed to cater to our social needs.

As social intelligence was an essential skill for my personal and professional development, I had to acquire fundamental skills using unique methods. In addition to learning fundamentals from the body of knowledge during my cognitive science studies, I also conducted ethnographic research that enabled me to observe and interact with socially intelligent leaders. Emulating their behavior expedited my skill-building. Each competent leader provided me with a new perspective.
