Emotionally Effective Leader

“The Goal”

“Business leaders are no longer being defined by their IQs or even their technical skills. It is their emotional intelligence that makes the difference. It is rarely for the lack of smarts or vision. Most unsuccessful leaders stumble because of one simple, fatal shortcoming. The failure is one of emotional strength.” – Fortune magazine - June, 1999

So what does this mean? The quote is from 1999. Now, many years later, as you think about your leadership, and the leadership you see around you, how accurate do you think this quote still is?

Underpinning your leadership are your core values and beliefs, or mental models, which drive your behavior in every aspect of your life on a day-to-day basis. Sitting on top of the core values and beliefs is your emotional intelligence. At the top are your technical skills. In this context, we use the term technical skills to refer to the skills of leadership, like communication, change management, conflict management, or project management.

The same is true in reverse as well. Your ability to use, either successfully or not, your technical skills, will affect your emotional intelligence, and then also influence your underlying beliefs. The important thing to remember is that these cycles will have a significant impact over time.

Our Goal is to touch upon mental models and how they impact emotional intelligence. We will also talk about why we should focus our time on mental models instead of on technical skills.
