Why Emotional Intelligence Matters
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand both yourself and the people around you — and to respond with clarity and intention.
It’s not just about being aware of emotions, but about using that awareness to navigate relationships, challenges, and decisions with empathy and insight.
No matter how skilled or knowledgeable you are, without emotional intelligence your impact will be limited.
You might still achieve results — but they’ll rarely be lasting or deeply meaningful.
At worst, a lack of emotional intelligence can create stress, disconnection, and low morale in the people you lead or work with.
True leadership — and real change — begins with emotional awareness. .
