Emotions are the next competitive advantage. But do we know emotions and ourselves? Sun Tzu said already 500 b.c: "Know yourself and you will win all battles". But do we know ourselves in today's hectic life? We should because othervise we cannot be e.g. creative or innovative. The secret cure is to identify emotions and strenghten our mental capabilities. This goes as well for individuals as organizations and society.
