The correct answer is
Only conclusion I follows

Statement Analysis: Leadership Requirements

The question presents a statement about the essential components of effective leadership:

  • Emotional intelligence (EI) is acknowledged as a beneficial trait that enhances leadership capabilities.
  • However, the statement crucially adds a condition: without technical expertise, leaders might struggle to achieve the organization's goals.

This implies that while EI is valuable, it's not the sole determinant of success, and a lack of technical skills can lead to failure in meeting objectives.

Conclusion I Evaluation: Sufficiency of Emotional Intelligence

Conclusion I: Emotional intelligence alone is not enough for leadership success.

Analysis: The original statement explicitly mentions that leaders may fail to meet organizational objectives without technical expertise, even if they possess emotional intelligence. This directly supports the idea that EI by itself is insufficient for complete leadership success, especially when it comes to achieving practical, objective-driven outcomes. Therefore, Conclusion I logically follows from the statement.

Conclusion II Evaluation: Role of Technical Expertise

Conclusion II: Technical expertise ensures effective leadership.

Analysis: The statement indicates that technical expertise is necessary to meet organizational objectives. However, it does not claim that technical expertise *alone guarantees* or *ensures* effective leadership. Effective leadership typically involves a combination of skills, including interpersonal, strategic, and potentially other competencies beyond just technical know-how. The statement highlights the *necessity* of technical expertise for objectives but stops short of saying it's a guarantee of overall *effectiveness*. Emotional intelligence is also mentioned as enhancing leadership. Thus, Conclusion II makes a stronger claim than what the statement supports.

Final Determination

Based on the analysis:

  • Conclusion I is supported by the statement.
  • Conclusion II is not fully supported by the statement, as it overstates the role of technical expertise.

Therefore, only Conclusion I logically follows.
