EQ Leadership Frameworks

Actionable tools to help you lead with emotional intelligence and confidence.

I created these templates for engineering leaders who want to make better decisions, build stronger teams, and grow into impactful, respected high-EQ leaders.
Each resource is something I’ve used myself in real leadership situations.


🧭 Guided Decision Canvas

💡
Use this when your team is stuck between competing ideas – or when you want to move from debate to clarity.

This 3-column canvas helps your team:

  • Align on the real problem
  • Compare ideas against shared criteria
  • Define success before jumping to solutions

Full breakdown and use cases available in this newsletter post.


🤝 The LEADS Model

Use this when you're navigating emotionally charged discussions, feedback sessions, or tough decisions.

This 5-step model helps you:

  • Lead with empathy, not ego
  • Make fair, values-based decisions
  • Stay calm and curious under pressure
  • Create space for team voices and insights
