Overview: The article highlights the fact that discovering the team's emotional intelligence is very important for a team leader. The team recognized that in order for it to change as a group, each member also would have to commit to change as an individual. The benefits of such a process at the top are threefold. First, a new and healthy legitimacy develops around speaking the truth and honestly assessing both the behavioral and the emotional aspects of cultural leadership. Second, the very act of engaging in this process creates new habits. When people in the organization see their leaders searching for truth, daring to share a dream aloud, and engaging with one another in a healthy manner, they begin to emulate that behavior. Third, when truth seeking comes from the top, others are more willing to take the risk.
