Emotional Intelligence - Increasing Capacity to Lead

Objective:
Successfully elevate the leadership capacity and emotional intelligence of valued players at any level of an organization.

Overview:
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to manage ourselves and our relationships effectively. Research suggests that our capacity and productivity in the workplace is fundamentally dependent on three competencies; I.Q., business/technical expertise, and something known as "Emotional Intelligence". In fact, the more highly placed in an organization an individual is, the more important Emotional Intelligence becomes. Studies show that 85 percent of the effectiveness of star performers is linked to their possessing a high degree of Emotional Intelligence.

Outcomes can include:
  • Self Awareness - Your ability to accurately perceive your emotions and stay aware of them as they happen. This includes being aware of how you tend to respond to specific situations and people.
  • Self Management - Your ability to use the awareness of your emotions to positively direct your behavior - managing your emotional reactions to all situations and people.
  • Social Awareness - Your ability to accurately read the emotions of others and understand what is really going on. Being able to effectively see and navigate the organizational culture.
  • Relationship Management - Your ability to use the awareness of your emotions and the emotions of others to successfully manage interactions and relationships.

Approach:
Emotional intelligence is not innate; rather, it is a learned ability that must be cultivated and strengthened. At the same time, the capacity to be an emotionally intelligent leader is now seen to be directly tied to performance and results. To help ensure the development of emotional intelligence by participants, we employ proven methodologies that include a range of assessments, a customized and interactive approach, one-on-one coaching, and real-time application of learning (e.g., applying skills to work-related projects).

Setting:
These trainings can be delivered on-site at your organization or in an off-site, retreat venue of your choice.

Options:
We design these programs around specific interpersonal issues and needs inherent to your team or organization.

"Leaders are being judged by a new yardstick: not just by how smart they are, or by their training and expertise, but also by how well they handle themselves and others."
Daniel Goleman, Working with Emotional Intelligence
