Foreword
by Dr. Kellie M. Dixon ‘Dr. K’

Leadership books often walk a fine line between being overly academic and giving you fluff with no real application. This book? It’s different. Leading with Emotional Intelligence reads like a conversation with a trusted friend, colleague or mentor—one who challenges you, makes you think, and maybe even makes you laugh along the way.

Dr. Alan Mueller has a gift for breaking down complex leadership concepts into something not only digestible but also immediately useful. If you’ve ever sat through a leadership training that felt like a long-winded lecture with no real-world relevance, this book is your antidote. Alan doesn’t just talk about emotional intelligence; he embodies it. He understands that leadership isn’t about titles or authority—it’s about relationships, self-awareness, and the ability to navigate the complexities of human interaction with authenticity and care.
