What is the best option for a leader?

When you are a leader in a group, you have a responsibility to other people in it, because your decisions affect them directly. What to bet on when you take them: logic or feelings to gain self-confidence? As paradoxical as it may sound, the correct answer is emotion.

An overly logical leader is often perceived as strict and incomprehensible to others. They are more likely to judge your decisions because they don’t take the time to analyze them.

However, when the leader shows that behind his decision there is not only logic, but also a lot of emotion, he inspires others. You begin to notice more and more clearly what makes you feel good, laugh, etc. This way you can learn their body language. It is he who will then tell you if someone wants to lie to you or make you a false offer.

Last but not least, depending largely on his emotions and instincts, the leader develops a sense of empathy that can only benefit him in the future.
