For one to lead effectively, it is becoming increasingly clear that one has to engage both the minds and emotions of those he leads. While many of us are adept at presenting plans and persuading intellectually, we might just need to be as effective in creating an emotionally healthy environment where people are emotionally connected to themselves, one another and the work they do.
