IS MEANING…
"What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy
of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be
fulfilled by him."
– Victor Frankl, “Man’s Search for Meaning”

UNCOVERING YOUR MEANING
• How would those closest to you describe you?
• What are you unwilling to compromise on?
• What guides your thoughts, decisions and behaviors?
• What do you stand for? (not, what are you good at)

“In medicine, we often forget that leadership is really about leading people. We often substitute fund of
knowledge, clinical skills, seniority, even income – but those are only attributes and ultimately have little to do
with true leadership…
![Page 11: L goren plenary emotional intelligence](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/54c4e3ba4a79598a078b456c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
04/10/23 LEGACY HEALTH 11
…Leadership is the ability to listen, translate, decide and motivate others. The lack of leadership is often
more apparent in hospitals, medical schools and health care organizations because we’re not trained to
recognize true leadership.”
--Dr. Freddie Chen

What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is not about being nice all the time.It is about being honest.
Emotional intelligence is not about being “touchy-feely.”It is about being aware of your feelings, and those of
others.
Emotional intelligence is not about being emotional.It is about being smart with your emotions.
![Page 14: L goren plenary emotional intelligence](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/54c4e3ba4a79598a078b456c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“We are being judged by a new yardstick; not just how smart we are, or by our
training and expertise, but also how well we handle ourselves and each other.”
--Daniel Goleman, Ph.D.

ability and other personality factors.”
