Socially Intelligent Leadership is:

The capacity to direct, manage and optimize human systems judiciously and empathetically for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Why does this matter?

Because like it or not, as a designated leader you are responsible for the respectful treatment of the people who are your colleagues, friends,neighbors, community and resource pool.

When you ignore the mistreatment of the individuals in your care or choose to treat them like tools of production instead of living, breathing beings, your ability to garner their best effort is undermined and thwarted. In short you leave ingenuity, loyalty and profit on the table.
