An engaging two-day program where participants develop Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to increase their effectiveness at the “people side” of leadership.
Both managers and leaders are critical to the success of organizations. In an era of rapid change and complexity, organizations are finding they need more leaders who can engage staff to take responsibility for creating results for themselves, their teams and the organisation. Most managers have a high level of expertise on the technical side of their work, but few have substantial training in the human side of the job. Emotional intelligence provides powerful insights and tools essential for transforming managers into leaders.
Emotional intelligence is the capacity to effectively use emotions, and it’s a key differentiating factor of successful leaders. Why? Because relationships are at the heart of workplace performance, and EQ skills are what makes effective relationships thrive. Few training programs or workshops have the potential to make a significant difference in how participants perform on the job. This training program can.
Studies vary, but all indicate that emotional competence accounts from 70 to 80% of the difference in leadership success. Maybe that’s why thought leaders like Jack Welch (past CEO of GE) and Warren Bennis (leadership authority and author) and hundreds of others all agree:
