Emotional intelligence of a leader

For a long time, people believed that emotions in business affairs harmed the productivity of companies. However, management is not only about organizing processes, developing strategies and coming up with fancy ideas. A true leader knows how to inspire, arouse enthusiasm, maintain motivation and bring out the strengths of his employees. How does a leader maintain his energy and loyalty to the company? How does he create an atmosphere conducive to the emergence of creative ideas and innovations?
