Sustaining excellence with emotional intelligence
When Daniel Goleman released his best-selling book “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ,” the concept resonated with millions of readers, many experiencing an “aha” moment, and recognized this trait in people that they admired.
Through his research, Goleman found that people who emerge as outstanding performers or the best leaders have high emotional intelligence. A combination of self-awareness, mastery over emotions, social awareness, empathy, tuning into others, allow harmonious or effective relationships. This finding proved to be good news because, unlike IQ, emotional intelligence is learned and learnable at any point in life.
In this class, Goleman outlines 4 domains of emotional intelligence and 12 particular competencies of people who are high in emotional intelligence.
Learning objectives:
Improve leadership and performance with high emotional intelligence.
Boost self-awareness and self-management to exude positivity, adaptability, and focus.
Cultivate your capacity for empathy.
Construct effective EI training and pathways for growth at the team and organizational level.
Demonstrate organizational care.
