Martin Luther King Jr. displayed the traits of emotional intelligence as a leader in his 'Letter From a Birmingham Jail', by showing self-awareness, self-regulation,
motivation, social skills, and empathy.
In 'Why Leaders Fail, Exploring the Dark Side', by Ronald J. Burke, Burke describes in various ways how leaders lacking in emotional intelligence
become failing leaders. An example of a man lacking in emotional intelligence is Karl Adolf Eichmann from the article, 'Eichmann in Jerusalem, a Report on the Banality of Evil', by Hannah Arendt. This man served as a Nazi
to the ultimate failing leader, Adolf Hitler.
This is a picture of Eichmann on trial for his crimes in 1961 .
