Why Emotional Intelligence is Important in Leading Your Team

Work Life Balance Podcast: Business | Productivity | Results

Emotional intelligence is a vastly underrated trait in a great business leader. While hard skills, such as technical skills or knowledge, can be learned, emotional intelligence needs to be cultivated. Soft skills such as empathy, patience, and self-awareness, are all crucial for successfully leading a team and growing your business to your next level.

Leaders who have high emotional intelligence are much farther ahead of the curve than those who have a keen instinct for business. They’re more capable of building a team they can retain, and aware of what it takes to motivate that team as they grow their company. If it’s so important, why is it so underrated? Let’s explore more about why this trait is the foundation of a successful leadership tenure.
