Emotionally IntelligentLeadership: Heartwork of Leadership Program
Leadership behaviors is the single largest determinant of organizational performance, and leadership has always worked through emotions. As leaders take on added responsibilities, they face a crunch where skills that helped them achieve success are no longer sufficient for continuing that success. These barriers to achievement often relate to a need for greater Emotional Intelligence (EI). Increase in emotional intelligence can facilitate key transitions into more demanding leadership roles that require greater degree of people management.
Given the significant financial impact that people can make in organizations, we often refer to them as ‘Human Capital’. Organizations that seek to capitalize on their intellectual assets stand to gain a sustainable competitive edge in today’s volatile business environment.
The Heartwork of Leadership is a unique development process that helps build core emotional intelligence competencies, which form the foundation for key leadership behaviors. Emotional strengths and development areas provide personal insights to createaction plans that enable deeper level changes.
