296 | Emotional Intelligence: The Skill That Sets You Apart from the Machine
We’ve all heard the buzz around artificial intelligence, business intelligence, and strategic intelligence. But in a world obsessed with data and efficiency, there’s one form of intelligence that often gets overlooked—and it might be the most important of all: emotional intelligence.In this week’s episode of the LeadCulture Podcast during the Summer of Leadership series, Jenni unpacks why EQ is the skill every culture-carrying leader must develop. From self-awareness to relationship management, emotional intelligence is what helps you build trust, lead through change, and create a culture where people thrive—not just survive.
You’ll hear:
- Why EQ often goes underdeveloped in high-capacity leaders
- The story of how Jenni’s drive once created blind spots with her team
- A breakdown of the four key components of emotional intelligence
- Practical ways to grow your EQ and lead with greater empathy and awareness
- “Culture is emotional. And if you want to lead it well, you have to lead with more than just your mind—you have to lead with heart.”
Let’s build cultures where people feel seen, valued, and understood.
Let’s lead different.
