Executive Leadership has always been a complex and challenging endeavor but now leaders are confronted with the additional stresses of a widespread recession.Today's organizational leaders require skills that allow them to cope with the need to do more with less.More now than ever there is enormous need for leaders with people skills i.e. emotional intelligence. Today's leaders are expected to motivate and coordinate, and to create organizational vision while meeting their increased responsibilities and their personal stresses.Using interpersonal skills and influence, leaders must empower their subordinates to take full charge of their responsibilities even in the face of reduced resources. They are required to facilitate teamwork and must be able to manage conflict.This environment is spinning in unpredictable ways. Leaders need to focus on personal resilience and the ability to cope with that environment and the ability to chart a personal course over which they have some control.Without emotionally intelligent leaders, organizations will be unable to realize their potential to adequately meet the challenges facing them today.
