Emotional intelligence isn’t a “soft skill” — it’s the leadership skill of 2025.As Daniel Goleman put it: “Emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership.”In this week’s episode of The CARE Podcast, I break down why EQ matters now more than ever — especially as so many of our interactions are digital.A manager told me recently: "I used to think my team needed more instructions. Turns out, they needed more connection." One weekly question — “How’s your energy this week?” — changed everything.Here are 3 ways leaders can build emotional intelligence today:1️⃣ Name what you’re feeling. Calm creates clarity.2️⃣ Ask one caring question a day. Connection beats control.3️⃣ Use emotional labeling. "It sounds like you’re frustrated — tell me more."And through the lens of CARE:Character owns emotions. Attitude of Gratitude notices people. Respect listens. Enthusiasm grows when people feel seen.🎙️ New episode is live now. If you want your team to trust you more — start with understanding them better.👇 What’s one EQ habit you’ve seen make a real difference in leadership?
