TL;DR: The authors describe how the brain's mirror neurons enable a person to reproduce the emotions she detects in others and, thereby, have an instant sense of shared experience.
Abstract: A decade ago in these pages, Goleman published his highly influential article on emotional intelligence and leadership. Now he, a cochair of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations, and Boyatzis, a professor at Case Western, extend Goleman's original concept using emerging research about what happens in the brain when people interact. Social intelligence, they say, is a set of interpersonal competencies, built on specific neural circuits, that inspire people to be effective. The authors describe how the brain's mirror neurons enable a person to reproduce the emotions she detects in others and, thereby, have an instant sense of shared experience. Organizational studies document this phenomenon in contexts ranging from face-to-face performance reviews to the daily personal interactions that help a leader retain prized talent. Other social neurons include spindle cells, which allow leaders to quickly choose the best way to respond to someone, and oscillators, which synchronize people's physical movements. Great leaders, the authors believe, are those whose behaviors powerfully leverage this complex system of brain interconnectedness. In a handy chart, the authors share their approach to assessing seven competencies that distinguish socially intelligent from socially unintelligent leaders. Their specific advice to leaders who need to strengthen their social circuitry: Work hard at altering your behavior. They share an example of an executive who became socially smarter by embracing a change program that comprised a 360-degree evaluation, intensive coaching by an organizational psychologist, and long-term collaboration with a mentor. The results stronger relationships with higher-ups and subordinates, better performance of her unit, and a big promotion.

TL;DR: In this article, Boyatzis et al. introduce the concept of neuronas espejo del cerebro, i.e., the part of the brain that reproduces the emociones that detectan in the demas.
Abstract: Hace una decada, en esta revista, Goleman publico su muy influyente articulo acerca de la inteligencia emocional y el liderazgo. Ahora, el y Boyatzis, profesor en Case Western, amplian el concepto original de Goleman usando los resultados de una nueva investigacion acerca de lo que sucede en el cerebro cuando las personas interactuan. Senalan que la inteligencia social es un conjunto de competencias interpersonales, que se construye sobre ciertos circuitos neuronales que inspiran a las personas a ser eficaces. Los autores describen como las neuronas espejo del cerebro permiten a las personas reproducir las emociones que detectan en los demas, lo que les brinda una sensacion inmediata de experiencia compartida. Los estudios organizacionales documentan este fenomeno en distintos contextos que varian desde evaluaciones de desempeno cara a cara hasta las interacciones personales cotidianas que ayudan a un lider a retener el mejor talento. Otras neuronas sociales incluyen las celulas fusiformes, que permiten que los lideres rapidamente elijan la mejor forma de responder a otra persona, y los osciladores, que sincronizan los movimientos fisicos de la persona. Los grandes lideres, senalan los autores, son aquellos cuyas conductas apalancan de forma poderosa este complejo sistema de interconexion cerebral. Mediante un util esquema, los autores comparten su enfoque para evaluar siete competencias que distinguen a los lideres con inteligencia social de los que no la exhiben. Tambien ofrecen un consejo especifico para los lideres que deben fortalecer sus circuitos sociales: dediquese a modificar su conducta. Comparten el ejemplo de una ejecutiva que aumento su inteligencia social al sumergirse en un programa de cambio que incluia una evaluacion de 360 grados, coaching proporcionado por una psicologa organizacional, y la colaboracion en el largo plazo con un mentor. Los resultados: relaciones mas solidas con sus superiores y subordinados, un mejor desempeno de su unidad, y un importante ascenso.

TL;DR: The meaning of the word transparency tends to be fuzzy in the mouths of those in power as discussed by the authors, and when officials say they are being transparent, what they really mean is "not lying" and "not hiding what we’re really doing".
Abstract: The word transparency pops up in news stories about everything from corporate governance to the activities of the U.S. Justice Department. In the mouths of those in power, its meaning tends to be fuzzy. As New York Times essayist John Schwartz writes, when officials say they are being transparent, “what they really mean is ‘not lying’ and ‘not hiding what we’re really doing.’ But that doesn’t sound as nice or vague, does it?” The vagueness is understandable, however.
