Why is emotional intelligence important in leadership?
Emotional intelligence (sometimes referred to as EQ or EI) is the ability to comprehend, control, and develop your own feelings, while also being able to understand and manage others’ feelings.
Leaders with high emotional intelligence create more connected and motivated teams. The skills people with emotional intelligence possess make them effective managers.
People with a high degree of emotional intelligence know what they're feeling, what their emotions mean, and how these emotions can affect other people.
