How a leader motivates their team, gathers, and uses information, makes decisions, manages change initiatives, and handles crises is referred to as "Leadership style", and is known to be a key influencing factor in team dynamics.

As well as EQ considerations, cybersecurity leaders must also be conscious of the team's makeup in terms of gender, age and cultural attributes and values.

Probably the most important component of EQ, self-awareness is integrally associated with other important EQ factors such as the ability to accurately understand how others feel and to express our own feelings as well as to effectively manage and control emotions.

The ability to understand the effect you have on others and how others effect you.

The ability to build social networks and rapport with ease.

By applying these tools, leaders can help individuals and teams sympathetically explore perhaps aspects of personality, attributes or values that might prevent career progress, or they might help to explain why someone still feels unfulfilled despite doing a great job.
