In this excerpt, Dr. Alexa Chilcutt explains that top leaders possess a high degree of emotional intelligence, which she breaks down into five core components. First, self‑awareness enables leaders to recognize how others perceive them and how that perception influences their effectiveness. Second, self‑regulation involves managing one’s own emotions and reactions to maintain consistent leadership behavior. Third, motivation drives leaders to pursue change when outcomes are unsatisfactory. Finally, social skills and empathy allow leaders to connect with others, understand their perspectives, and build collaborative relationships. Together, these elements form the foundation for emotionally intelligent leadership.

So you're self-aware, which, number one, that would be exactly what you're going to, whether you've got somebody who's stodgy or you have somebody who's constantly trying to search for the next solution. The first thing is that that person has to be self-aware enough to recognize that I'm being perceived this way and it's taking away from my leadership ability, right? Or that perception of my leadership. So being self-aware. The second thing about emotional intelligence is self-regulation. So self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation. The motivation could be, I've gotta change this because things aren't going in the right direction. Then social skills and empathy.
