There is a Chinese curse that tickles "I hope you have a brilliant idea, but could not convince anyone." That is, the idea that you actually have the enthusiasm and need to be addressed so that the message can be transmitted to others.

A leader is able to understand themselves and the people around him. He needs to be sensitive and able to empathize with the needs of people around him. You have shown emotional intelligence if it can build lasting friendships, resolve conflicts with friends or family, with emotion when the situation was "hot", or when you needed a friend, confidante or advisor.

Tips: (1) memorize the names of people in your company or your floor even if you do not interact directly with them, (2) when people talk to you, stop what you're doing, change focus and listen to them, (3) avoid humor or statements that could hurt the feelings of others, (4) dare to admit your mistakes.Of all the tips to hone your leadership skills, the most important thing is to change your self-awareness-Transforming himself into a leader is not an easy thing, but he also is not a difficult thing. So, successful practice your leadership skills. Final words I was reminded of a wise philosopher message: "Let's think big, life is too short to be small".
