Leading with Emotional Intelligence: Why It’s the Superpower of Great Leaders (Not Ego Driven Ones)

Mickey Maher & Corey Kay Season 1 Episode 23

When two of the world’s most powerful men (Trump & Musk) carry on like schoolkids online, it’s more than just headlines — it’s a masterclass in poor emotional intelligence.

This episode’s not political. It’s personal and professional. We’re unpacking what real emotional intelligence looks like (and doesn’t), why it matters more than ever, and how to build it in leadership and life.

Mickey Maher and Corey Kay bring relatable examples, real talk, and a breakdown of the five key traits — from self-awareness to social skill. You’ll hear why EI is the difference between trust and turnover, connection and chaos.

✅ Real examples (Trump, Musk, Jacinda)
✅ The 5 traits of EI in plain English
✅ How to spot it, grow it, and use it

EI isn’t fluff. It’s a leadership superpower — and we all need it.
