Episode Notes

In this episode, we talk with PECAA's incoming President, Jonathan Worrall to discuss the power of emotional intelligence as a skill all leaders should possess. 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Great leaders are curious. They listen more, ask more questions, and rely on input and feedback from those closest to the work. 
  2. Emotional Intelligence is recognizing the entire person on the team and the thoughts and feelings they bring to their work. 
  3. An EQ driven leader is self-aware of their own emotions, thoughts, and biases.
  4. Creating an EQ driven workplace and leading with empathy does not absolve people of responsibilities to perform. Performance goes hand in hand with a great workplace. 
  5. An EQ driven leader invests in their team's success, both professionally and personally.
