Emotional Intelligence - The Missing Leadership Skill

In today’s lesson, our founder Lisa Manzo dives into the #1 missing skill in modern leadership—Emotional Intelligence (EI). If you’ve ever wondered why some leaders inspire loyalty while others struggle to build cohesive teams, this episode reveals the answer.

Emotional Intelligence isn’t about being "nice"—it’s about navigating conflict, making smarter decisions, and fostering high-performing teams. Research from Harvard Business School Online shows that 71% of employers now prioritize EI over IQ when hiring leaders. And studies confirm that employees are 400% less likely to leave when they work under an emotionally intelligent leader.

In this episode, Lisa explains:
✔ What Emotional Intelligence (EI) is and why it’s a non-negotiable leadership skill
✔ How emotions impact decision-making, conflict resolution, and team success
✔ Why traditional leadership based on authority is outdated—and what works today
✔ The science-backed link between EI, retention, and business success

This is just the beginning! In the next episode, we’ll explore self-awareness—the foundation of Emotional Intelligence—and how understanding your own triggers can transform your leadership.
