Abstract
A high degree of CSLSI maturity requires emotional intelligence and the ability to identify and regulate the emotions in others and ourselves. It begins with our heartfelt desire to give a precious gift to others—our time and attention through the active listening process. The goal is to develop a high degree of emotional empathy. Conversely, the workplace is a powerful source of negative emotions such as guilt, shame, embarrassment, and humiliation that are linked to a pernicious spiritual stronghold, that of people pleasing and affirmation anxiety. This chapter summarizes the risk factors and the remedies for gaining victory over the various forms of the “fear of man.”
