Episode notes
What makes emotional intelligence in leaders so powerful? What would leadership look like if we all embraced emotional intelligence and authenticity as our guiding principles? Emotional intelligence is paramount in not only building authentic connections but also in navigating the complexities of leadership in high-stress environments. In this episode of the Inspirational Leadership podcast, I speak with Angela Payne about how leaders can harness their strengths while addressing their blind spots to become more effective. Angela is the co-founder of LeedHR, where she’s responsible for both development and delivery of client programs, ultimately creating better organizational leaders. Everyone who knows her recognizes her ability to make authentic and long-lasting connections. This “superpower” has enabled Angela to not only build and grow successful teams but also become a strategic coach for many other leaders inside and outside of her organization.
