Developing Emotional Intelligence

There are two parts that you have to work on to develop emotional intelligence. One is internal where you manage your own emotions and reactions. The other track is where you get more detailed with specifics that take into account various other group dynamics. The tips in this Chapter are applicable even to leadership positions of a personal nature (head of the family, captain of the softball team, president of the homemakers’ club, etc.).

Developing emotional intelligence requires you to work on two areas: Personal competence and Social competence.

This Chapter follows these tracks in giving you specific action steps to take in order to be a master of your emotions and become a brilliant leader.
