Leading with Emotional Intelligence (Self-awareness)

Leading with emotional intelligence starts with self-awareness. Self-awareness is the cornerstone of emotional intelligence and includes the ability to define and understand the emotions you have and the impact they have on you. It also includes the ability to understand how you are "showing up" for other people and how their emotions impact you. Leaders with high emotional intelligence can navigate emotions more effectively, they are more agile and resilient, and they communicate and resolve conflicts successfully. Self-awareness is the foundation that all other emotional intelligence competencies and skills are built on.
