Developing leaders who are attuned to emotional issues. Traditionally, this has not been a strong focus of either corporate leadership development or business school education programs. Highly attuned emotional leaders are skilled at understanding and managing human emotion as an inevitable phenomenon in a corporate setting, and leveraging it as a source of energy and shaping influence on follower behavior. For example, aligning employees around an exciting vision for a new product development project team requires a leader to employ well-developed emotional skills.
