Great leaders know to continually sharpen their strengths.
Rather than waste time on their weaknesses, they find others to fill the gaps.
It’s no longer enough for leaders to have business or technical proficiency. Leaders need high emotional intelligence (EQ). “[It’s] the key to success in leadership and being able to relate to others” (Forbes, 2017)
A leader’s mood is contagious
EQ flows through an organization like electricity. Successful leaders are optimistic and high-energy—but always authentic. And they’re skilled at transferring these qualities to their employees.
“Effective communication is the most important predictor of leadership success” (Harvard Business Review, 2016).
Agile interpersonal skills set off an emotional and behavioral chain reaction throughout an organization. High EQ maximizes employee engagement and leads to cohesive, higher-functioning teams. The result? A new degree of productivity that drives more successful business outcomes.
Managing for financial results begins with the leader managing their inner life
Leaders with competencies in self-management, empathy, teamwork, coaching, and mentoring enhance the emotional climate in their organizations and more effectively engage employees.
