Contingency Intelligences: A leader must have the situational intelligence to deal with any situation coming their way in surprise wrapped with complexities and as a leader, we must analyze the situation as a third person observing it closely at every end and by considering the situation in the viewpoint of the parties at both end and the situational outcome of your decision.

Locus of self-control: When we interact in the organization, there are internal and external variables that affect the functioning of the organization and people, and to have control over these variables, we need to have major control over the variables within our heart and mind once we settle and align our thoughts in the right direction, we control all the conditions, reactions and judgment internally and externally.

Positivity: Positivity is not just confined to thinking good all the time, it basically about understanding situations at both ends of the people, once we start understanding the reaction and judgment of another person regarding his situations, experiences, and his personal problems, our attitude towards everything happening with and around that person changes amazingly, once we start analyzing the situation as a third person considering each aspect of the situation we understand every problem in an appropriate way which results into immediate solutions of each problem occurring and brings an end to negative understanding and reactions. The organization flourishes with positivity.
