We need emotional intelligence and trauma informed leadership now more than ever. The outdated coercive style of leading and managing people is out.
Emotional intelligence and trauma informed leadership is an approach that acknowledges there is an emotional world of experiences that runs deep within each of us. When these emotional responses are triggered in the workplace, each person responds according to the extent of their emotional scars, traumas and emotional strengths.
Rather than creating a tinderbox workplace culture that asks,
“What’s wrong with you?”
We should be asking,
“What happened to you?”
"What matters to you?”
“What can we accomplish together?”
