Bottom-line: Emotional Intelligence is the sin qua non of the most effective leaders. Because leadership is a social influence process – anyone at any time within your organization has the opportunity to demonstrate leadership behaviors – EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS FOR EVERYONE!!!

While technical skills and intelligence are important ingredients for success, the research has proven that emotional intelligence is twice as important than both in determining an individual’s success. Individuals who recognize the core competencies of EQ and actively build them over time not only increase their own performance but also that of their followers.

This hands-on workshop explores the core competencies of emotional intelligence and, using a sophisticated talent assessment, facilitates the participant through a series of exercises to build their own EQ. Upon the completion of this session, the participants will be able to teach EQ to others, have their own action plan to build their EQ, and have access to a tool for ongoing development support.

Agenda:

• Discover the importance emotional intelligence contributes to successful leadership


• Understand the sophisticated cognitive process associated with building emotional intelligence


• Explore the five core competencies that make up emotional intelligence


• Debunk conventional management wisdom and practices (e.g., Golden Rule vs. Platinum Rule)


• Develop your own self-awareness in terms of strengths, weaknesses and blind spots


• Discuss perceptions in the workplace and how they influence group dynamics and effective communication


• Practice accurately evaluating others as opposed to labeling and judging


• Utilize emotional intelligence to build stronger, more effective, relationships with co-workers


• Create an action plan to develop your own emotional intelligence after the workshop concludes
