The Importance of Emotional Intelligence Part 2: Self-mastery

The Importance of Emotional Intelligence Part 2: Self-mastery

October 11, 2018 By The Leader's Journey

Growing your emotional intelligence means growing your ability to choose what you say and do–because of and in spite of your emotions.

Self-management is your ability to choose what you say and do based on your awareness of your emotions (Bradberry and Greaves). To understand self-mastery, we have to go back over the role of feelings—to give us information and to help us know when to pay attention and what to pay attention to.
