In any effort for a group to advance, there is leadership. That’s why there is “leaderful” organization is an emerging term. For our purposes, we define leadership as making proposals, so a good leader would be the one who makes good proposals. A good proposal would satisfies a group’s purpose needs (it takes the group closer to its goal) and the perceived/self-declared needs of its members (the members would find the proposal exciting and relevant). This implies having skills to read context. So, leadership would be informed by emotional intelligence skills, and what good leadership looks like would be context-dependent.

To explore this topic, we recommend The Six Leadership Styles developed by Daniel Coleman with his emotional intelligence framework, presented in the Youtube channel Leadershipahoy of Carl Lindberg.
