Perspectives from Peter Drucker and Daniel Goleman 

"Your foremost job as a leader ... is to take charge of your own energy and then help orchestrate the energy of those around you."

 "In any human group the leader has maximal power to sway everyone's emotions ...The effects of primal leadership extend beyond ensuring that a job is well done. Followers also look to a leader for supportive emotional connection - for empathy."

"Emotion is present in the workplace. Everyday, everywhere. Emotion is energy. Learning to harness this energy and use it to impact the reasoning side of the business in a positive way is one of the great untapped resources yet to be conquered"  Adele Lynne
