Today, we’re diving into a vital topic that can determine the success of any organization: organizational health, inspired by the insights of best-selling author Patrick Lencioni.

If you’re a leader or aspiring to be one, prioritize these four steps in your organization:

1. Building a cohesive leadership team,
2. Creating clarity,

A healthy environment leads to higher morale and lower turnover rates, a win-win for everyone.

In today’s episode, we're diving into the powerful role of emotional intelligence, or EQ, in overcoming three significant challenges that corporate leaders frequently encounter within their teams:

1. Silos hindering collaboration,
2. Engaging in productive conflict, and
3. Reluctance to provide feedback.

In a rapidly evolving corporate landscape, understanding what holds teams back is crucial for effective leadership.

Recently, we posed the question: "As a corporate leader, which of the following challenges do you find most significant within your team?"

The responses have revealed some eye-opening trends that we’ll dissect in today's episode.

If you want to improve your EQ skills, make it a priority for 2025.

You can seek help from a coach, mentor, co-worker, family member, or friend.

You can make it a habit to observe how people you interact with manage their emotions, good or bad, and to learn from them.

You can also pay close attention to your own emotions. Keep track of those people or situations that trigger a negative reaction from you.

Above all, use whatever visual or sound aids work best for you to keep EQ top of mind in 2025 and beyond.
