In today’s hybrid world, where the lines between work and life are blurrier than ever, leaders can’t afford to ignore how emotions shape performance for themselves and the people they manage. If you want a team that stays engaged, communicates well, and actually enjoys working together, you need to sharpen your emotional intelligence. This is a concept that's been around for decades, and yet, leaders still misunderstand it.
In this episode, I break down what emotional intelligence really means (hint: it’s not about group hugs), and walk through the four key competencies every manager needs to master: self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and relationship management. No fluff, just real-world, actionable insights to help you lead better, especially when tensions run high. Whether you’re leading in-person, remote, or somewhere in between, this video is your playbook for becoming the kind of leader your team actually wants to follow.
