Emotional intelligence is a leadership skill

What makes a leader worth following when the pressure is on?

 

People take their cues from how leaders communicate, manage emotion, and respond to uncertainty. Emotional intelligence supports clearer thinking, steadier decisions, and stronger relationships, even when conditions are difficult. It’s what allows leaders to navigate complexity without losing connection or clarity.

 

The Leading with Emotional Intelligence Collection brings together four books on applying emotional insight to real leadership challenges. The guidance is practical and direct, with tools for staying composed, building credibility, and leading with awareness when it matters most.
