About this programme
Corporate leaders and outstanding performers are not defined by their IQ or even their job skills, but by their Emotional Intelligence: a set of competencies that distinguishes how people manage feelings, interact and communicate. Unlike IQ, Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ) continues to develop with life experiences. Understanding and raising your Emotional Intelligence is essential to your success and leadership potential. EQ is the barometer of excellence on virtually any job.
The Leading with Emotional Excellence: Psychology of Innovative Leadership training course will enable participants to appreciate that their daily encounters are shaped not just by their rational judgment and personal history, but are largely influenced by their perceptions and expectations. Participants will be given skills and knowledge to apply EQ in the workplace to enhance their teamwork.
