In order to motivate employees it is critical that those coaches, managers and leaders have a high level of Emotional Intelligence.  We have all heard of IQ at one time or another.  Your IQ is a measure to some extent of how  smart or intelligent you are.  Your EI or Emotional Intelligence is how well you identify, assess, and control your own emotions and the emotions of those  around you. 

Not many of us has a very high EI and those of us that do are able to excel in the most extreme and stressful of environments.  Historically, great  leaders have very high emotional intelligence.  They can weather any storm and  may seem unfazed by their surrounds no matter how hostile or unfamiliar they may be.

If you want to learn how to keep from demotivating employees or anyone else you may work with then it is very important that you are at a very minimum aware of your own emotions and how they are afffecting those around you.  A great leader is the rock on which his or her people  can stand on.  They are the foundation and cement that holds and organization together.  They don't waiver in the face of failure and continue to exhibit high levels of the 3 E's (Energy, Excitement, and Enthusiasm).  In order for you to truly become a great leader and succeed at motivating others you will need to develop an above average level of EI.  Being aware is the first step along your journey down this path.  Good luck!
