Emotional intelligence (EI) improves productivity, efficiency and morale in the workplace. Through greater self-awareness, self-management and empathy, emotionally intelligent leaders can better understand how their decisions affect their teams and performance.
By recognising and developing these competencies, you can drastically improve your management style and increase your influence and your team performance.
Join our one-day Emotional Intelligence in Leadership interactive course to discover how you can use EI techniques as a management tool, drive results and achieve your objectives with your team.
Through a range of expert-led workshops and public sector-focused case studies, gain the tools and long-term skills to enhance your leadership skills. Leave the day with the fundamentals of EI, how to apply it and a clear action plan to implement with your team.
