Emotional Intelligence
“…three abilities that distinguish the best
leaders from average: self-awareness, which
lets you know your strengths and limits…; self-
management, which lets you lead yourself
effectively; and empathy, which lets you read
other people accurately. You put all those
together in every act of leadership.”
~Daniel Goleman
