The widespread emotional intelligence was called, in its origins, social. This work rescues that original sense and proposes answers to the challenge posed by the social issue at the dawn of the new millennium, particularly in Latin America: poverty, unemployment, exclusion. Faced with the retraction of the State imposed by neoliberal policies, the exercise of social responsibility of organizations sets up a contribution that must be valued. The book defines the concept of social intelligence as the ability to generate and develop the skills necessary for the effective exercise of such responsibility.
