Successful leadership is often dependent on striking the right balance between focusing on tasks and focusing on relationships. Many leaders often lost sight of this balance, resulting in lower levels of employee engagement, job satisfaction, and retention. Leaders who seek to improve their self-awareness and confidence, manage their disturbing emotions and impulses, and increase their empathy are likely to experience benefits not just in improved behavior but also in measurable performance outcomes.

Today, organizations worldwide are finding that individuals identified at mid-career as having leadership potential were far stronger in EI competencies than were their less-promising peers.
