One of the biggest challenges for leaders is not a lack of knowledge, commitment, vision or other common leadership qualities; it’s a lack of emotional intelligence. In particular, it’s an inability to understand how one’s past or present unprocessed emotional experiences can influence one’s personal growth and interpersonal relationships. This can unintentionally contribute to pain and hurt for the people leaders serve. It is something that leaders often forget to consider, but it’s a blind spot that can change as a leader starts noticing.
