Emotional Intelligence For Leaders
- a critical determinant for success !

In the increasingly networked business environment today, it is critical for leaders to have a high level of self-awareness, to clearly understand why they act as they do, and how their behaviour affects and is perceived by others. By knowing themselves, successful executives are better able to keep a clear vision of where their organisation is heading, have greater success in communicating this vision to others, and to translate this vision into reality.

Contemporary Leadership requires people be persuaded rather than compelled, and leaders need a high level of emotional intelligence to be able to understand and manage their own, and others' emotional responses, if they aspire to build culturally, intellectually and functionally diverse teams that are able to collaborate , take difficult decisions and handle challenging situations.

Participants will undertake multiple Emotional Intelligence ( EQ ) assessments which will help them to reflect and figure out how to leverage their emotional intelligence to emerge as an effective Business Leader.

Decades of research now point to Emotional Intelligence (EQ) as the critical factor that sets star performers apart from the rest of the pack. EQ is seen as twice as Important as IQ for corporate success. More importantly, EQ can be learnt and developed. Daniel Goleman.

In fact, emotional intelligence—the ability to, for instance, understand your effect on others and manage yourself accordingly—accounts for nearly 90 percent of what moves people up the ladder when IQ and technical skills are roughly similar (see "What Makes a Leader" by Daniel Goleman in the Harvard Business Review, ,).
