to regulate the
emotions of self and others is key to effective leadership. Emotional
intelligence does not

should trump reason. Management of emotions is not the same as
manipulating the emotions
,of others, which is unethical

disagree, will guard
against this happening. The manager can often not avoid making
unpopular decisions.

encourage honesty. The
use of "informants" is likely to cultivate mistrust and is likely to increase
dishonesty

and makes us blind
to the human condition. It is only when we recognize and manage our
failings that leaders
achieve greatness. No one can be brave in each and every situation.
Many good leaders have
strong charisma, but this is not always the case.
