"I've never discovered anything with my rational mind" - Albert Einstein-
"What is the quality which in the end is essential in a leader? Courage, yes, moral and physical courage, a sense of responsibility towards his problem and, at the same time, a sense of responsibility towards to those he commands. Initiative? Yes. Judgment? Yes. Personal tenacity in the most difficult situations? This is where we come nearest to the mark, I should think. Tenacity is what we must demand - that is what counts; but not only physical toughness, but also spiritual tenacity - what we know as spiritual strength. There we have, I think, what is the most important, the most essential quality, at least for those in highest authority - spiritual strength." (C.G. Mannerheim according to General Heinrich, in Marshall Mannerheim & the Finns by Oliver Warner, 1967)
Ability to know your own and perceive others´ feelings and use and manage that knowledge in your relationships effectively.Emotional intelligence in leadership (Coleman, Boyatzis &McKee 2002):1. Self-awareness
(emotional self-awareness, accurate self-assessment, self-confidence)2. Self-management
Leadership is an interaction between leader(s) and followers,where they come together in a certain situation in order to achieve shared vision (purpose) and objectives effectively.This process will take place in a certain team and organization,which is sharing same values and culture.
