“This Feels Like Therapy.”
I've heard this phrase countless times when discussing emotions with leaders.
Leaders would rather talk about productivity, goal-setting, and managing underperformers.
I prioritize EQ because the value of EQ skills has surged by 30% over the past two decades (according to Daniel Goleman).
EQ is the ability to identify and process emotions. It’s rarely taught, and many leaders overlook its significance and impact.
How can you begin developing your EQ?
- Self-Awareness.
- Managing Your Emotions. This Is not the same as being a Stoic.
- Empathy. Understanding the feelings of others.
- Relationship Management. Inspiring others.
Investing in your emotional intelligence can transform your leadership and foster a more engaged, productive team.
