The document discusses the power of emotional intelligence and its importance for agile teams. It defines emotional intelligence as having four domains and explains how the amygdala can hijack our emotions. Developing emotional intelligence can motivate teams, increase confidence and trust, and provide feedback. High emotional intelligence leads to greater understanding, compassion, and controlled behaviors between team members. Certain emotional skills align directly with agile principles like satisfying customers, welcoming change, and promoting sustainable pace. Assessments can measure emotional intelligence for different job titles.
