Fostering team emotional intelligence (27 June 2022)

Summary

The emotion of the team is a sum-total of emotions and feelings that members of the team experience. Left unnoticed, unexpressed, and unattended, these emotions can grow toxic to harm relationships or grossly undermine team’s potential.

Leaders have a choice of either noticing those emotions intentionally and intervening constructively when needed or just ignore the emotions to focus only on the outcomes and the process.

Tuning into team emotions, fostering productive relationships, building trust, and a conducive environment within the team is the constant work of leadership.
