What traits do you think about when you hear ‘great leader’?

Is anyone in particular coming to your mind?

Here are 4 signs of emotionally intelligent leaders that can completely transform a workplace.

1. Self-Awareness

Great leaders are fully aware of their emotions, weaknesses, and strengths.

They don’t shy away from admitting if they are in the wrong.

They are self-aware and always consider what kind of impact their own actions and emotions can have on the rest of the team.

These traits make them great decision-makers and improve the quality of relationships with other coworkers.

2. Empathy

Great leaders are active listeners.

They aren’t afraid to face the display of feelings and emotions and are always there to support other team members.

They show genuine concern and try to understand how the other person feels and why.

This is one of those qualities that helps to build a supportive and inclusive environment within an organisation that makes everyone feel heard and valued.
