What truly sets great leaders apart from the good ones? 🤔 According to Daniel Goleman, it’s not just IQ or technical skills—it’s Emotional Intelligence (EI) that makes all the difference! 🌐
EI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a powerful set of five skills that the best leaders use to bring out the absolute best in their teams. In fact, when senior managers at one company mastered these skills, their divisions smashed yearly earning goals by an incredible 20%! 📈
So, what are these magical EI skills? Let’s break them down:
- Self-awareness 🧠: Knowing your strengths, weaknesses, drives, values, and how you impact others.
- Self-regulation 🛑: Controlling or redirecting disruptive impulses and moods.
- Motivation 🔥: Relishing achievement for its own sake and staying driven.
- Empathy 💛: Understanding and tuning into the emotions of others.
- Social skill 🤝: Building strong relationships and guiding people in the desired direction.
We’re all born with different levels of these abilities, but here’s the good news: you can strengthen your Emotional Intelligence through persistence, practice, and feedback from your colleagues or a coach! 💪
