Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a game-changer for EMS leaders. Developing your EI can strengthen your ability to manage stress, communicate effectively, and build stronger relationships with your team and patients. Here’s how you can work on improving your EI: 1. Practice Self-Awareness: Notice how your emotions impact your actions and decisions. 2. Understand Your Triggers: Identify what causes certain reactions and work to manage them. 3. Communicate Openly: Express feelings clearly and assertively, without bottling them up. 4. Stay Calm in Stressful Moments: Take a pause and reframe situations to maintain focus. Investing in your EI helps you connect, inspire, and lead with empathy and resilience.
