Emotional Intelligence“…three abilities that distinguish the best leaders from average: self-awareness, which lets you know your strengths and limits…; self-management, which lets you lead yourself effectively; and empathy, which lets you read other people accurately. You put all those together in every act of leadership.”
~Daniel Goleman
