Britt Howard, a seasoned expert, had emphasized the vital role of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in workplace safety. He stressed that EI involves understanding and handling emotions, both your own and those of your team. It was like having a special skill to perceive how people felt and communicate with them, especially when things got tough. EI was a powerful tool for safety leaders because it fostered a workplace where everyone felt safe, trusted one another, and openly discussed safety concerns. When leaders possessed strong EI, their teams became more safety-conscious, resulting in fewer accidents and issues.
