"People felt inspiration 50% more when they were in an organization with a leader with high emotional intelligence. Their frustration levels were 30-40% less, their intentions to leave the profession were significantly lower, their burnout was lower. So many variables are related to the person who's in charge having the skills to manage people and manage their emotions."
