Emotional Intelligence

Training Provided by Spectrum Training Services A manager s emotional style and emotional self-management is critical to a company's culture. Emotional intelligence is about managing feelings so they are expressed appropriately and therefore enabling people to work together and towards common goals in a constructive and transparent environment. When the executive values feelings, so will the employees. Research confirms that emotions are contagious. So, if the manager feels optimistic, confident, creative, flexible, tolerant, respectful, and compassionate, the employee will mirror these feelings. Research also indicates that the direction of emotional flow is from top down, as we might expect, since anyone in power has, by default, more influence. The good news is that unlike intellect which changes little after our teenage years, emotional intelligence is not genetic but learned and it continues to develop as we mature. Course Aim To make a compelling business case and enable managers to recognise the relationship between emotional intelligence and enhanced job performance. To identify personal competencies required for self management and social competencies required for relationship management and begin to develop these essential competencies
