Leadership Development: What are some of the most important leadership trends of Today?
Chris Day, The Growth Coach DFW answered:

Where most people fall apart in management or leadership is Emotional Intelligence. You can significantly increase your own and widen the gap between being a good leader and a great one.

One book I recommend is EQ 2.0. Found in most bookstores and has an online self assessment tool.

Knowing the technical portions of a business just isn't enough and people will quickly see right through leaders who aren't self aware. This leads to disharmony, trust issues, vision buy-in issues, etc, etc. Show your employees that you're increasing your own self awareness of areas that need strengthening or support.

You don't need to be perfect in every area, but you do know how to admit it, craft a plan to deal with it and hire the right people to execute!

I'd be happy to discuss further, at your convenience....
