Emotional intelligence refers to the basic abilities of emotion recognition, reasoning, and regulation (Cherniss, 2010). Having emotional intelligence is vital tool for leaders to recognize when they are using emotions as opposed to facts when making decisions. Stress can often make it difficult to recognize when we are basing decisions on emotions as opposed to facts.
Emotional intelligence has been shown to have a significant impact on overall life satisfaction, happiness, and one’s ability to find meaning in obstacles and life (Joseph et al., 2010). As a leader, we must be able to recognize our emotions when we experience them, understand that they are emotions and are not based necessarily on facts, and then regulate them.
