Sometimes it is difficult to improve on EQ, when there may be other factors involved such as poor self esteem. However, managing your emotions is a key aspect of feeling empathy for other people. Healthy EQ improves the outlook on the future.

I believe that we all have some type of common sense. The problem is that we do not know how to use it at times because we do not have time to focus or study on the issue. It is very common for "stuff" to happen and throw us off track. However, looking at the examples of the "lack of common sense" makes me realize that these are truly common sense mistakes instructors make everyday.

I am relieved to know that I have several leadership styles. I, 5too, feel the leadership style can change depending upon the situation.
