Effective relationship management, team building, and cooperation are all facilitated by emotionally savvy leaders. Taking into account the thoughts of their teammates and emotional consequences of actions, they make more rational decisions, communicate openly, and settle conflicts in an amicable manner. EI enables leaders to foster a supportive environment that increases motivation and productivity.
