Millions of employees left their jobs last year in what has been dubbed “the Great Resignation,” and Colorado, as the state with the fourth-highest number of resignations, is hardly immune.

Yet Colorado also is better positioned than most to weather this talent shakeup because we lead the country in offering innovative benefits, work-life balance and a unique brand of emotionally intelligent leadership.


“Another skill that defines a leader with a high emotional intelligence quotient is self-regulation. Our leadership coach, GG Johnston with Downstream Partners, talks about how we are in a time of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, and that a leader’s ability to regulate their own emotions while navigating this sea of change fosters a trickle-down effect. If leaders can regulate their own emotions and remain authentic, their integrity shines through and they inspire trust.”
