Maximizing Leadership Impact with Emotional Intelligence

The core competencies of emotional intelligence (EQ) are at the heart of successful leadership. Emotions impact your team’s decisions, behaviour and performance.

An effective leader must have strong interpersonal skills and impactful relationships if their organizations are to also be highly effective.

 A strong foundation of emotional intelligence helps leaders assess their own behaviour and their workplace culture through an emotional intelligence lens and provides strategies to ensure that the emotional intelligence and well-being of employees and team members are suitably protected.
