Emotional intelligence (EQ) is crucial to the success of leaders and teams, enabling leaders to build trust, communicate well, inspire others, and lead more effectively. Research shows that emotionally intelligent leaders relate more positively to people at work, are viewed by their colleagues as more capable, competent and confident, and are more likely to succeed in their roles and careers. Learn about the importance of emotional intelligence and some research-based techniques to expand and applies these skills to real-world scenarios.

Want results? Set daily intentions
As I sit down to write this piece about daily intention setting, I can’t escape the irony: In the past week of frenzied business travel, client visits, and business development, I’ve somehow put off my writing and am now a day late to the editor.
I’ve wanted to write this for at least a week, but here I am: late, rushed, and concerned about whether I’ll perform my best. I’m feeling disappointed and ineffective, but also determined.
Sound familiar?
Unfortunately, these stressful symptoms are all too common in the increasingly fast-paced culture of health care leadership. Even worse, the sense of being overwhelmed can easily become habit-forming – and trap us in ineffective patterns that can undermine our leadership.
This is where good habits can be helpful: A daily intention-setting practice can help increase productivity and fulfillment.
