39. Ten Habits of Emotionally Intelligent People(Hein, 1999) • Label their feelings, rather than labelling people or situations • Distinguish between thoughts and feelings • Take responsibility for their feelings. • Use their feelings to help make their decisions • Show respect for other people’s feelings

40. Ten Habits of Emotionally Intelligent People • Feel energised not angry • Validate others’ feelings • Practise getting a positive value from their negative emotions • Don’t advise, command, control, criticize, blame or judge others • Avoid people who invalidate them or don’t respect their feelings

42. …and finally!

43. Emotionally intelligent leaders look out of the window to apportion credit - they acknowledge colleagues, and admit to a fair dose of good luck. But they look in the mirror to assign responsibility - they never blame outside events when things go wrong. In contrast, less emotionally intelligent leaders tend to do the opposite - they look out of the window for factors to blame, but they gaze in the mirror to credit themselves when things go well.
