Why Most Leaders Fail at Emotional Intelligence (And the 5-Step System That Actually Works) Hey Friend! Building emotional intelligence is like building a house—and most leaders are trying to pick paint colors before laying the foundation. I realized this when I built my house on 5 acres in Oklahoma.
