Emotional intelligence (EI) involves understanding and managing one's own emotions and the emotions of others. There are five main domains of EI: emotional self-awareness, emotional self-regulation, emotional self-motivation, empathy, and managing relationships. Developing strong EI skills has many benefits for leaders, technical experts, support staff, client contact staff, and teams by improving communication, problem solving, productivity, and performance. EI is especially important for leaders to influence teams toward goals through positive interaction and communication rather than autocratic styles of leadership that do not match today's independent workforce.

leadership. However, people often use the same language for
leadership today - bold, brave and tough with a strong sense of
purpose and resolve. However, this does not fit today's needs,
because: today's workforce does not accept the autocratic style
often adopted by leaders following historical models of
leadership.
leadership has had to evolve to match a growing sense of
democracy and independence in the workforce
employees now have far more options and choices than the foot
soldiers of yesterday
