The Art of Social Intelligence
Observe the Habits of Highly Effective People and Improve Your Mindset
The way to do is to be.
Lao Tzu
Introduction
Fostering professional and personal relationships can be quite a challenge to some. However, there are people who seem to just breeze right through the process. The task of socializing and connecting seem so effortless to them. Have you ever wondered what makes these people different?
The answer to that is social intelligence. The reason why it seems so natural for these people to start great conversations and create a good social network is that they have high social literacy. Social intelligence gives individuals the ability to approach social situations better by equipping them with the ability to assess all the elements in these interactions.
These individuals are able to sense the emotional state of their peers. They are able to respond to social dynamics appropriately. They have a good sense of self-awareness and are self-assured even in the most hectic situations. They are also able to express their ideas more effectively and their peers respond more positively to them.
Acquiring social literacy gives individuals an advantage both in their professional and personal lives. With it, the difficulty in understanding your boss, your partner, your friends, and your family becomes much less. You will be able to have a better perspective of yourself, your relationships, and your engagements with others by simply using the devices you will learn as you develop your social intelligence. Having the ability to effectively address your social relations will eventually give you a happier, more rewarding, and more fulfilling life.
The good news is that social intelligence can be developed. It is not set and it can be worked on as long as you have the right mindset for it. Being socially literate is not something you are simply born with. You can develop the right set of skills to harness it and that is what this book aims to provide you with.
However, developing social intelligence is not a replacement for a persons sense of identity. Before we delve into the intricacies of interacting with others, we will first go through the process of honest self-discovery and forming your own personal brand.
This is the prerequisite to building relationships with others. You must first have a sense of self that is authentic and true. This will enable you to keep your interactions genuine and sincere. It will also make you aware of the bad habits and damaging mistakes you make in the way you socialize with others.
Authenticity plays a big role in being able to develop your self-awareness and self-esteem. Both of which are important aspects of honing your social intelligence. The journey to getting to know yourself will require you to be more honest in the way you view yourself and the things that you do.
It is impossible to understand yourself if you are only basing your self-worth and identity on the approval of others. It will be very important for you to commit to honest self-reflection as you follow the book. It is the only way for you to understand how all the teachings can be applied in your life. The most important thing is that you use these lessons to live your true sense of self.
Social literacy cannot be instantly acquired. You do not just define it and you instantly have the tools and skills you need. It takes a lot of practice and commitment. That commitment can only come if you participate in a way that is authentic to you.
This book will not focus solely on the philosophical path toward social intelligence. Instead, it will include actual instructions and practical steps you can take. We will delve into the actions you have to make to really develop your skills and widen your perspective on things.
One of the things you will learn in this book is the difference between effective communication and communication that is only meant to please your peers. If you approach every single conversation with the mindset that you are going to get the other persons approval, you will likely end up disappointing yourself.
Although you can get people to like you with it, there is a more important aspect you can learn as you polish up on your social intelligence and that is setting appropriate goals within your interactions. This can be a variety of things like planning a project, understanding a concept you are working on, or maybe even just having a great time enjoying someone elses company. Having a good understanding of your social goals can make you more effective and less anxious when it comes to social interactions.
The best tool you can have in any social setting is to be able to communicate effectively. Effective communication includes verbal and nonverbal language. Each will be discussed in the book thoroughly. Improving your communication skills will be an important part of social literacy.
One way you can look at social literacy is in the form of intuition. After you practice all the steps and you commit to them, you eventually develop an instinct for it. Soon enough, you will look at all social interactions in a better light and respond to them more intuitively because you have acquired a set of habits that are proven to be effective. Eventually, you will also see a difference in the way people respond to your communication.
