Emotional Intelligence: Key to Leadership Success

Ian R. Lazarus, FACHE, CEO of Creato Performance Solutions, suggests that “Emotional Intelligence requires that a person be socially-aware by understanding the emotional and behavioral makeup of the people around them.” 

In fact, he even asserts that leading with emotional intelligence flies in the face of a common guiding principle: The Golden Rule. Why?

Into every interaction we have each day, we bring our emotions. Our emotions are expressed through our behavior. So, for example, you might respond to a difficult situation by focusing on work and putting the anger aside. But your fellow employee who expresses anger through silence might see your solitude as something different altogether. While you’re concentrating and moving your project forward, he or she is seething and can’t understand why you haven’t noticed and aren’t responding. By treating your colleague the way you’d like to be treated, essentially giving space, you’d actually be exacerbating the situation.
