12. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE The key is to work through issues and important problems before they grow to the point that they are considered to be conflicts. Conflicts result from avoiding an issue and failing to address it constructively head-on. Interpersonal conflicts, like all our problems, need to be addressed when they are big enough to see, yet still small enough to solve. - Goleman, Resonant Leadership
