We know from the literature that 71% of employees across all professions value emotional intelligence in their leaders. They correlate emotional intelligence with being more effective at coaching teams, managing stress, giving feedback, and inspiring collaboration.
Many professionals who are reaching for leadership positions think that these positions come with an ability to influence others, demonstrate certainty, and be right. However, demonstrating authenticity in leadership requires one to be vulnerable, not have all the answers and communicate this with assurance and a sense of empathy. Developing Emotional Intelligence is a lifelong journey that requires consistent effort and practice.
鈥淲hether you hold a C-Suite Executive role or are in a leadership position in an organization, leaders who can deal with their feelings in a more positive way can also deal with problems more effectively.鈥
Having the ability to demonstrate emotional intelligence in the workplace might seem obvious but upon examination of these innate skills, one can realize the deep challenge as well as the extreme gratification that comes with leading in this way. By exploring and actively working to develop your emotional intelligence, you can become a more effective and successful leader.
