In this post, I reflect on Day 21 of my LinkedIn Challenge, where I explore the powerful connection between emotional intelligence and the DISC model in leadership. Reading Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Jean Greaves and Travis Bradberry was a wake-up call for me, highlighting the importance of being self-aware and attuned to the emotions of others. Later, as a consultant and trainer, I discovered how DISC further enhances this by helping leaders understand communication styles and natural tendencies.
