Happiness and Success

So we’ve gone through all of the traits that are considered essential to making a good leader. We have also learned the value of moral intelligence, emotional intelligence, and how they have an impact on the type of leader it makes you. How are these themes applicable to our overall performance and happiness in our work?

When considering moral intelligence and emotional intelligence; we notice they share many similar themes with Being a good leader. Communication has proved itself to be the superior trait when comparing these ideas to leaders. A good leader knows how to communicate in many different contexts. For example; a leader faced with an issue can use these skills to communicate while taking into account his own values and morals, as well as the values and morals of a given company. How can exercising these skills improve the success in your work, and how will it impact your colleagues?

In my philosophy of work; I focused on the belief that it is a choice to be happy with your work. A person’s mindset if it is optimistic and future oriented, feeds their will to grow and improve.

While working, being an individual who expresses positivity, drive, and commitment to his or her own work naturally attract more opportunities to build on these skills. An engaged employee becomes comfortable communicating ideas and opinions. These actions can be motivating for others. As mentioned in an earlier entry, a leader is chosen. When you engage yourself and show ambition, expressing responsibility, creativity and flexibility colleagues develop a trust in you and the work you accomplish. Having an impact on the environment, being a successful leader will provide a sense of meaning and belonging. When an individual understands the impact they leave on their community is positive, it will drive them to build even better skill sets.
