The subject of emotional intelligence is moving its way to near the top of the priority list for all great leaders to master. From my perspective it includes how clearly we see ourselves and does that awareness align with how other people see us as well. This post by Michele Markey was well worth the read:
“Companies place a lot of value on the abilities and skills employees bring to the workplace, but it’s important that we focus on being human as well. People naturally desire to connect and interact with other members of their teams, and successful businesses have figured out they must have employees who not only bring their intellect to the job, but also their emotional intelligence.”
