Before I answer today’s question, I want to share today’s quote which is from Daniel Goleman and it goes like this:
"If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far."
Daniel Goleman

When asked to identify the necessary traits for leaders, most would propose answers that fall within a wide range of topics.
Charisma, purpose, determination – these are just a few of the traits that are typically used to define a leader. However, many leaders have a single quality in common.
In short, what distinguishes the best leaders from the majority is their level of emotional intelligence.
