Self-awareness and Emotional Intelligence form the foundation of effective leadership, allowing leaders to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and how they fit into the larger organizational puzzle.

• Empathy means recognizing when team members are struggling and initiating supportive conversations
• Leaders must balance empathy with productivity by focusing on helping team members be successful
• Finding mentors who excel at empathy can help those who don't naturally possess this quality
• Understanding personal triggers and stress responses is crucial for emotional self-regulation
• The number one reason people leave jobs is poor relationships with managers, not lack of technical competence
• People remember how you made them feel more than your credentials or technical expertise
