We are all familiar with emotional intelligence, but how do we leverage it in our practice as learning leaders and utilize it as a measure of potential leadership success, and ultimately organizational performance?
Emotional intelligence (EQ) requires effective communication between the rational and emotional centers of the brain; it represents the path between feeling and reason. The four skills that together make up emotional intelligence include self-awareness and self-management, which are about personal competence, and social awareness and relationship management, which are about social competence. Studies have found that EQ is:
* is a required competency for effective leaders
* is the number one predictor of professional success and personal excellence
* affects organizational profitability and performance.
This session will provide an overview of EQ and the role it can play in building a powerful leadership team and improving operational efficiency. It will include information on the science behind the theory of emotional intelligence, tips and strategies for developing required competencies, and the importance of building the business case for growing emotionally intelligent leaders.
