The Trainable Skill That Separates Good Leaders from Great Ones

Emotional intelligence is the difference between a team that trusts you and one that's just bracing for you. A leader's anger rarely stays contained to a bad afternoon. It shows up in someone else's spiking cortisol, in the decision to stay quiet in the next meeting instead of speaking up. Dr. Gary breaks down the biology behind that reaction, and draws the line between passion that builds a team and passion that breaks one. There's a real coaching story in here too, about a CEO who didn't realize his anger was read as a threat to someone's job. This is the one skill you're already using in every room you walk into today, whether you meant to or not.
