Have you heard of "Emotional Intelligence?"  Daniel Goleman  wrote the book "Emotional Intelligence" linking emotions with intelligence.

In the book Goleman reasoned emotional intelligence with increased skills that will foster growth in self - awareness, self regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.  All of us have base line levels of competencies and cognitive abilities or IQ that's supposed, but it's our emotional intellect and social skill sets that distinguishes leaders and sets them apart and above average.

People with the propensity for high levels of  "Emotional Intelligence" have harnessed and nurtured their soft skill sets.  While for most the development of soft skills comes with maturity it's also derived from the innate desire to grow by applying initiative and perseverance to develop and manage behavior, impulses and social consciousness!
