- Harrisburg, PA
- September 21
In this presentation, Bob Anderson will facilitate an interactive workshop based on Emotional Intelligence/Emotional Quotient (EI/EQ) awareness and skill development. Key issues covered include:
- what is Emotional Intelligence — how EI/EQ differs from IQ
- the business case for EQ — how developing it translates into bottom-line results
- your role as a leader in developing your Emotional Intelligence — why should you?
- Emotional Intelligence assessment results — members will receive an EQ report providing them with a snapshot of their EQ — 15 EQ competencies will be measured
- techniques to help you continually develop your EQ
- how do you build EQ as an organizational capacity.
Research suggests that the higher you go in an organization, the more EQ matters. In a study of more than 515 senior global executives, the most successful had the strongest emotional intelligence. A recent Harvard University study reveals that up to 95% of success in leadership is attributed to EQ/EI.
