This happens when we neglect to manage our emotions… High rate of attrition in your team (healthy or bad!) – People start leaving you…not the job. Think! They start moving away from your vision Lack of complete delegation – Lack of trust leading to micromanaging, when it actually can be avoided

7. THANK YOU!! EI is being seen as an excellent medium to enhance the environment, culture, leadership and team dynamic within an organisation. You can buy people’s time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of muscular motions per hour. But you cannot buy enthusiasm…you cannot buy loyalty…you cannot buy the devotion of their hearts. This you must earn
