Emotional Maturity

Mark W. Mccloskey

Chapter Chapter 12 in Learning Leadership in a Changing World, 2014, pp 119-130 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The myth of the exceptional leader glamorizes the work of leading, talking about it in terms of inspiring messages and creative breakthroughs. Although true at times, leading in the New Normal brings more than its share of stress, disappointments, and frustrations. Disruptive change, uncertainty, and the anxiety these produce are likely to increase in the decades ahead. Those who lead must understand the emotional drivers of individual and collective performance—the hopes and fears, aspirations, and concerns of others. In this context, leading is less about rational analysis—although this is still important—and more about relational realities, placing a premium on the virtue-mix of faith, hope, and temperance (self-control) found in Emotional Maturity.
