About Inspirational Leadership: A Primer

The Emotional Intelligence competency of Inspirational Leadership means having the ability to inspire others to align their actions towards a common goal or vision, to get the job done, and to bring out their best qualities along the way. With inspiration you can connect with something meaningful, and articulate a shared mission and/or values in a way that motivates people and offers a sense of purpose beyond day-to-day tasks.Inspirational leaders are agents of positive change, sometimes going against the grain of conventional norms or taking risks in their approach. These kinds of leaders ultimately leave the people they work with feeling inspired, motivated, and connected.So how does one develop this competency? What does it look like in different contexts?In Inspirational Leadership: A Primer, Daniel Goleman and colleagues introduce Emotional Intelligence and dive deep into the Inspirational Leadership competency.
