Traits Of Emotional Intelligence Leadership Development

By Ruth Green


A leader is supposed to meet certain qualifications in order to function as leader. Not only on paper but also as people. It would be very hard to deal with a person who does not care about emotion. Such leaders turn into dictators that are not really appreciated by people due to harshness on people. The article below speaks to the traits of emotional intelligence leadership development.

It would be east to work under a person who genuinely cares about what is going on with life and actually cares how you feel about changes made in the place of work. It makes the work environment so much easier to operate in. Most organizations do not do very well because the employees have not connected emotionally with their bosses.

An emotionally intelligent leader should know that communicating with their staff is a very necessary thing. They cannot magically read minds and tell what is required of them. Even in implementing decisions, the employees should be made aware so that they know what is expected of them. They should also be given a platform to give their opinions.

Being able to point out your own weaknesses without being told is a trait that makes a good leader. You know what you are good with and you, therefore, give it youre all. As for your weaknesses, there are many ways to deal with them. One is by hiring a person who is strong in your weak areas or promoting a person who shows strength where you do not.

Respect is crucial. This is not only by the employees to the employer but also the other way round. The leader should also have some self-respect. How a person treats themselves is how other people will most likely treat them. As a leader, making your staff feel respected is of paramount importance. They will not only perform well but their loyalty will always lie with you.

Leaders often feel that showing vulnerability is a sign of weakness. It is actually not when talking to your staff. You should be able to sit them down and tell them what they are supposed to do. You should tell them when you do not feel that a project will go right. They may actually be able to help by assuring you. You also will be able to connect with them on a much deeper emotional level.

Most leaders think that having a sense of humor causes them not to be taken seriously by their staff. This is however not the case. Being able to make fun of them makes them feel that you are approachable. They feel at ease when they are at work or even around you. A dull company promotes not only boredom but a lot of tension too.

Whenever there is a crisis, employees look to their employers on how to react. If the leader panics, they too will panic and will not be able to contain themselves. An emotionally intelligent leader should be able to handle every situation confidently and at no point show any kind of panic or fear.
