    It is interesting to note that when the leader's intelligence was excessively higher than that of his people, he often failed as a leader.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a leader's intelligence is significantly higher than that of their people, it can create a gap in understanding and communication. This can lead to a lack of connection and relatability between the leader and their team, making it difficult for the leader to effectively lead and motivate their followers. Additionally, if the leader's intelligence is not balanced with other important leadership qualities such as empathy, emotional intelligence, and the ability to delegate and empower others, they may struggle to build trust and engage their team members. Therefore, it is interesting to note that when the leader's intelligence is excessively higher, they often fail as a leader.

It involves being aware of social cues, showing empathy, and adapting one's behavior accordingly. This ability allows individuals to establish and maintain positive relationships, navigate social situations effectively, and demonstrate respect and understanding towards others. Communication skills and social participation are related concepts, but they do not capture the specific aspect of understanding and relating to others that is encompassed by social sensitivity.
