WHAT IS A LEADER?
A person or thing that holds a dominant or superior position within its field, and is able to
exercise a high degree of control or influence over others.
Somebody whom people follow.
Somebody who guides or directs others.
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to monitor one's own and other people's emotions,
to discriminate between different emotions and label them appropriately, and to use
emotional information to guide thinking and behaviour.
Although some people naturally have many of the traits of an emotionally intelligent leader
that doesn’t mean that these traits cannot be learned. Goleman does warn that this kind of
development is not something that just happens overnight. It takes a lot of work to become
more self-aware, empathetic, or any of the other components of an emotional intelligence
leader.
