Emotional Intelligence

The ability to lead has often been touted as a function of management experience: the longer you have been around managing people, the better you are at leadership. Traditional management programmes also leave you with the impression that successful leaders are those with first rate 'brains', by which they mean a high IQ.

This programme explodes these two myths. Relying on recent brain research and the work of Daniel Goleman, Leading With Emotional Intelligence, will show participants that the higher up you get in the corporate hierarchy, the less significant the role of IQ in leadership success and the more the need to access and leverage the astonishing power of the emotional brain.
