Research suggests emotional intelligence matters far more to leadership success than a high IQ. Yet the term implies we can think our way through every problem, and when two people are shouting at each other, little thinking is going on.
This 60-minute emotional intelligence for leaders webinar introduces the idea of emotional energy. It looks at the roles we play, the stories we tell ourselves about victims, villains and heroes, and the 40| |40 approach to sensing what is really going on.
You'll also explore the death of control as a leadership strategy, the humble Level Five leader, the coax, encourage and inspire formula, inclusion, and the difference between expectations and agreements. The message throughout is that great leadership works from the inside out, so the focus is on you as much as on your team.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Leaders differ less in how smart they are than in how well they manage their own emotions and those of the people they lead. Poor leaders create costly problems such as lawsuits, turnover, brand damage and lower profits, yet few were ever trained in how to be an executive.
With control no longer a workable strategy, engagement, empowerment, inspiration, inclusion and emotional intelligence take its place. This session suits leaders, managers and HR professionals.
