External factors play a major role in replanting and revitalizing. But so do internal factors. Today, Mark Clifton joins us to talk about EQ and its importance in effective leadership.
Today’s Listener Question:
FROM STEVE
In episode 3, you mentioned a replanter needs high emotional intelligence. What does that look like on a practical level and how can I improve personally?
Episode Highlights:
- Self awareness is critical for a pastor.
- Pastors need to be good listeners.
- The more you love Jesus, the more you’re going to love people.
- The more you love people, the more you’re going to want to spend time with them.
The four characteristics of emotional intelligence that we cover in this episode are:
- Self-awareness: The ability to know yourself and your emotions, not as you wish they were, but as they really are.
- Self-regulation: The wisdom and ability to understand the impact you have when you take action or refrain from action.
- Social awareness: The ability to read other people and understand their emotions.
- Relationship management: The ability to incorporate the other 3 skills to navigate and build positive relationships with all types of people.

Any pastor who is deficient in all 4 does not need to be in the pulpit. It’s a receipt for church decline and eventual death.
Loving the info on EQ & already downloaded the assessment to do with my team. As I review the materials though, I am unclear about how to score. How do I take the information from a completed assessment to generate a score in the 5 separate areas?
how can we get access to an EQ assessment instrument ?
Help, I dnk how to navigate this website/blog.
I filled out a comment form either Nov 1 or Oct 31 but did not get any response. Will the response come to my personal mail or do I need to go somewhere on website to retrieve it?
