Emotional-intelligence

Leadership, much like parenting, the approach we take can leave lasting impressions on those we guide. Akin to parents we aspire for our team members to reflect positively on their experiences, and to recall a nurturing, empowering, and supportive environment. However, it’s equally vital to consider what we don't want our teams to say, such as feeling micromanaged, witnessing our self-neglect, or not being given the room to grow and make independent decisions.

So you did it. You finished your project and are wondering what happens when we finally hit that last keystroke, when the task we've been toiling over reaches its long-awaited conclusion.

Typically, it's either a 1 for success or a 0 for failure, with our mood swinging to the rhythm of our code's performance. We were riding the high of every seamless commit, but equally, a single bug or delayed dependency could send us into a tailspin. It was a rollercoaster, and not always the thrilling kind.
