Why do brilliant leaders often fail?

They're missing these 6 critical skills:

↳ Let wisdom, not emotions, drive decisions
↳ Stay grounded when pressure builds

2. Feel What Others Feel
↳ Listen beyond the surface words
↳ Build trust through genuine understanding
↳ Create space for real connections

3. Master Your Reactions
↳ Take that pause before you respond
↳ Keep your cool when others can't
↳ Show stability when chaos hits

4. Read the Room
↳ Notice what's not being said
↳ Catch problems before they grow
↳ Sense when your team needs support

5. Light the Fire
↳ Lead with purpose, not just targets
↳ Bring energy that others can feel
↳ Keep momentum through tough times

6. Navigate Conflicts
↳ Face issues head-on, but with care
↳ Build bridges, not walls
↳ Turn disagreements into growth
