This podcast is going to help you understand Emotional Intelligence, an often-overlooked leadership asset. EI is remarkably similar to a muscle. Just like muscles in our body weaken or strengthen based on the amount of exercise applied to them, EI constricts or expands based largely on the understanding and willingness to develop it. Emotional Intelligence can become your leadership superpower if you are aware of it and learn to use it adaptively. Unlike cognitive intelligence, which is widely considered mostly innate, emotional intelligence is in large part a learned skill. Progressive leaders know they need to identify, filter, and appropriately express emotions, especially in how they engage people.
