Emotional Equations counsels executives to be more honest with themselves (and others) about what they’re feeling and to make changes in their lives where appropriate. Conley sees three key advantages to being an emotionally open leader. First, it cuts off the negative cycle that arises when people perceive their leaders as being on a pedestal. “The more we create a divide between our public image and our private reality, the more we create dysfunction,” says Conley. “If you think your boss is above emotions, above having any difficult times…then it’s going to make you feel like that’s what you’re going to have to be. And if people feel like they can’t do it, it diminishes their ability to live up to their potential.”
