The Traits Needed For Emotional Intelligence Leadership Development

By Martha Robinson


Leaders are usually the ones that will carry the whole responsibility, or the blunt of the team. However way one would look at it, leaders have a very huge job that would entail a lot of pressure, but they can actually take it and know what exactly should be done in any scenario. This is not really because they have some special powers or gifts, but rather because they have strong emotional intelligence leadership development which allows them to acquire certain skills for the job.

In order for one to become a leader, he must first become self aware, meaning he must know himself inside out. Of course, people will only follow leaders who have a stable personality and can take control of any situation no matter what the outcome. In order to be in complete control of any situation, a good leader has to be in control of himself first and must know how to assess himself constantly from a third person point of view.

A leader who is self aware will also have the ability to self reflect or self regulate. This, on the other hand, is the ability to constantly evolve and try to improve on shortcomings that one may have that can hamper his growth in anyway. Not many people are able to see their own character flaws and make logical amendments for improvement. If one has this skill, then he will continuously grow without any hindrance.

Having a high EQ also means having a very high level of empathy for others. Empathy is very important because one will be working with a team under him. If one has a high level of empathy, he will be able to completely understand the needs and wants of his followers, prompting him to provide whatever they need for their own personal growth and their work toward the common goal.

Social skills are also extremely important if one is to be a leader. In order to be a leader, one has to know how to deal with so many different people all with very different personalities and quirks. With that, one has to know how to handle them accordingly in order to lead his team to success.

Now, decision making is also something that takes a very high EQ to do. While most people think that IQ drives proper decision making, it is actually EQ that can lead to to more sound decisions that are especially made during tight situations. So if a leader does not know how to make decisions, then the whole project he is leading will not go well.

The last skill that one has to have is conflict management. Conflict management is a part of social skills but it is often the harder part of dealing with people. Of course, one will need empathy, and decision making skills to manage conflicts.

In order for one to become a leader, he must have a high EQ to boot. Of course, these skills can definitely be acquired. Fortunately, there are many seminars that help with the development of EQ, especially leadership seminars.
