The 5 Pillars of Emotional Intelligence

Self-Awareness - Understanding and knowing your own strengths and weaknesses

Self-Regulation - This is about staying in control and holding yourself accountable to your own values.

Motivation - Having something to aim towards is essential to support motivation. You must set small incremental targets to achieve as you work towards your ultimate goal.

Empathy- it is vital that any leader is able to understand other people’s views. You need to develop focused listening skills to support this understanding

Social skills – How you communicate with others. Learn to be a better communicator by talking to those who know more and are more articulate than you.

To be a great leader you must have a solid understanding of your emotions.
