The skill of Yoda is one of the most important things to have for future leaders. This means having empathy and self-awareness.

Empathy is about being able to put yourself in somebody else's shoes and understanding their perspective and where they're coming from.

Self-awareness is about how you view yourself internally and how other people view you externally

This is a crucial skill for leaders to master, especially in this virtual world where we're trying to connect with each other.

The ability to connect on a human level is all about emotional intelligence, which comes down to empathy and self-awareness.
