The global economy has made the world interconnected. Borders have been torn down. What affects a major economy is felt the world over. This has put global leaders on center stage, making Emotional Intelligence (EQ) a most sought after trait for global leadership in these times characterized by crisis and change.
Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO explains, “Besides being forward-looking, leaders should embrace the true meaning of leadership. They should know their strengths, use their best abilities, decide for the common good, pursue their goals, and inspire others to do good. With the world becoming an oyster, it is imperative for leaders to learn to be culturally competent through tolerance and acceptance of racial differences. This is the only way to drive progress and promote peace.”
Viesca points out the outstanding qualities that define global leadership:
1. Enabling – global leaders empower others to find their authentic style and take the lead.
2. Challenging – global leaders allow individuals enough room to stretch their potentials and think out of the box.
3. Encouraging – global leaders give their teams the needed push to give their best despite the odds so that they may thrive in every area they immerse themselves in.
4. Inspiring – global leaders command authority and motivation because their action is borne of a definite purpose and meaningful intention.
5. Exemplary – global leaders do not simply exist, they happen. Everything about them is worth observing and learning from because they are mindful of the role they play in the lives of people they work with and meet.
