The Emotionally Intelligent Leader: Cultivating a Culture of Trust, Collaboration and Accountability

Click Here For More Information

A leader’s emotions are contagious in an organization; as a result, he/she has the ability to persuade, motivate, and inspire others to create a positive, energized and collaborative working environment. An emotionally intelligent leader is in tune with him or herself and the people they work with, creating a high level of significance in the workplace that leads to increased productivity and job satisfaction.

This highly engaged workshop is comprised of experimental learning, proven techniques, and application exercises that take leadership development beyond the bounds of theory and into “real time” interaction and training. Participants are introduced to new concepts and tools, and then spend a majority of their time experientially applying the learning, practicing the new skills, and trying new behaviors, all with the support and coaching of a highly experienced facilitator.

Workshop Objectives:

  • To gain an awareness of Emotional Intelligence and its four domains.
  • To understand the benefits of being an emotionally intelligent leader and the obstacles one faces in doing so.
