Emotional Intelligence (EI) is what makes the difference between top performing leaders and the rest – and this course gives you the practical tools to develop EI in yourself and your team.
Research by Daniel Goleman and the Hay Group has found that high Emotional Intelligence is a bigger predictor of success in executive roles than IQ, and that the contribution of EI to success increases at higher levels. Emotionally intelligent leadership makes a big, measurable difference in three crucial areas: employee retention, productivity, and customer service.
The good news is that Emotional Intelligence can be improved. This course will teach you how to develop your own Emotional Intelligence, how to improve the ’emotional climate’ to maximize your team’s productivity, and give you simple, usable formats that will enable you to add a coaching style of management to you leadership repertoire. You will also receive a pre-course emotional intelligence self-assessment to help you identify your own goals for the course, and leave with your own action plan for developing your competencies as an emotionally intelligent leader.
