1. Raising Energetic Levels: Those with strong social intelligence often operate at higher energetic levels. They’re more resilient, more optimistic, and more solutions oriented. This positive energy is infectious, uplifting the entire group.
2. Influencing the Energy of Others: With social intelligence, you can identify the energetic states of those around you and, through effective communication and leadership, help elevate their energy levels.
3. Building Resilient Teams: Socially intelligent leaders are adept at creating teams that bounce back from setbacks. They foster environments of mutual respect, open communication, and shared purpose.

2. Conflict Resolution: Understanding and empathizing with different perspectives means socially intelligent individuals are often the peacemakers, skillfully resolving conflicts that can hinder progress.
