Abstract

This chapter invites the reader to consider how emotional awareness leads to positive influence in individuals and communities. Self-awareness, empathy, truthfulness, and authenticity are bridges that enable a leader to cross sociological divides to meet the deep needs of others. This chapter presents Jesus as exemplar for emotionally aware leadership and offers four principles for Christ-like leadership as seen through an exegetical analysis of John 4:1–42.
