Why emotional intelligence is key to developing powerful teams
Briefly

In a fast-paced world, the success of organizations is profoundly rooted in the human dynamics behind operations. Emotional intelligence--encompassing self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills--is essential for fostering effective teamwork and collaboration. It enhances communication, builds trust, and facilitates psychological safety among team members. This synergy between emotional and cognitive intelligence allows teams to navigate complexities and strengthens their ability to work cohesively, as detailed in the book "Emotional Intelligence Game Changers: 101 Simple Ways to Win at Work + Life."
"Emotional intelligence is the catalyst for psychological safety in teams," according to Debbie Muno, who is the managing director of Genos North America.
Emotional intelligence complements and supports cognitive intelligence, enabling team members to work together more smoothly and cooperatively.
