Importance of Emotional Intelligence in Becoming Better Leader
summary
Clear claim: emotional intelligence is necessary to lead teams in an AI era, not optional. Five concrete components are named — self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy — with actionable practices: keep a personal diary, pause and breathe to diffuse conflict, run 1:1 feedback sessions, use body language and short walks, and set SMART goals to stay motivated. Concrete examples (pandemic isolation, Federer/Nadal handshake, doctor calming a child) illustrate what works and when to apply each technique.
