EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
The Emotionally Intelligent director/executive
“If you can’t manage your emotions – you can’t manage the markets” – Warren Buffet.
Brief summary
Emotional Intelligence is an indispensible attribute of an elite chair, director, executive, colleague, (and partner or parent). Managing emotions in self and others is critical to leadership, engaging staff, negotiating change, orchestrating the business and optimising stakeholder outcomes. This presentation will demystify EQ and articulate the good news – its possible for anyone to significantly increase capability in this domain and benefit personally and professionally.
‘Ideas’ around Purpose, Strategy and Risk etc are not a purely cognitive process but a subtle matrix of cognition and affect. Even more significantly, we know that people are the medium to translate ideas into action and without significant EQ capability ideas would never translate into successful outcomes. EQ is a fundamental component to a high performing executive and boardroom.
