Ep. 012: Part 2 - The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Leadership
IF YOU DON'T GRIP YOUR EMOTIONS, THEY WILL GRIP YOUR LIFE On a new golf course, Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs sliced a ball into a homeowner's yard, went in to grab it, and had the owner sprinting out of the house cussing him out. Instead of assuming the worst, he centered himself, validated the man's frustration, and they parted with a handshake. Part two of the influence series breaks down emotional intelligence and ten ways to use it ethically. IN THIS EPISODE • The five parts of EQ: self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, social skills, and motivation • Active listening with all your senses, and what picking up your phone mid-meeting tells your team • Emotional mirroring at home: popcorn on the floor so his daughter feels seen • Why "I can't control my face" signals low emotional intelligence, and building a richer emotional vocabulary KEY TAKEAWAY You are not striving for perfection. Be proud of how fast you catch yourself and fix it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Bred To Lead is powered by SIPS Healthcare Solutions.
