Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
Invest in Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
Emotional intelligence is an integral part of good leadership and plays an important role in building healthy and well-functioning teams. Emotionally intelligent leadership refers to a leader's approach and capacity to recognise, understand, and manage one's own emotions, as well as to perceive, interpret and influence the emotions of others in a constructive and ethical manner. Positive role modelling from emotionally intelligent leaders can benefit the whole workforce. Through learning both theory and practical strategies, leaders can lead with confidence and a better understanding of others.
Emotionally Intelligent Leadership Module
Like most things, emotional intelligence is a skill that can be worked on and improved. Our learning module on Emotionally Intelligent Leadership can help you to identify and respond effectively to common leadership challenges in your sector. It provides practical strategies to enhance emotional intelligence in yourself and in your team. At its core, emotionally intelligent leadership encompasses four connected and interrelated domains: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Self-awareness enables leaders to accurately recognise their emotional states, triggers, and impact of their behaviour on others. Self-management involves regulating emotions to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively, especially under stress. Social awareness encompasses empathy and the ability to read the emotional climate of a team or organisation. Relationship management involves using emotional insight to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and inspire collective purpose.
This module is available as a live and interactive 4-hour online training session or 6-hour in person training.
