L6

Reading this chapter I learned what the value of emotional intelligence is. It helps leaders to communicate through there ability and style. First leaders must understand emotional intelligence. They must understand and express themselves, understand and relate to others, deal with strong emotions and control your impulses, and adapt to change and solve problems of a personal or a social nature. While doing this you must increase your own self- awareness. The first step in creating emotional self-awareness is knowing yourself. Ask yourself questions how are you feeling? A way of becoming self-aware is by taking a personality test. It is important to realize that you can develop you emotional intelligence by improving your leadership communication ability, and also understand the strengths and weaknesses first. In the last part of this chapter it talks about realizing the value of culture literacy and the use of cultural framework and how you should understand the differences.
