Emotional Intelligence is Crucial for Leaders

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is integral for leaders, now more than ever. Leaders with high emotional intelligence experience:

• Higher personal performance

• 15% to 29% higher revenues in their teams or divisions

• Four times better employee retention

• More constructive conflict resolution

• Higher levels of trust with their employees

• Higher employee motivation

• Better team cohesion and effectiveness

What is EQ?

According to the EQ-i 2.0 ® Technical Manual, 2011, EQ is a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we:

• Perceive and express ourselves

• Develop and maintain social relationships

• Cope with challenges

• Use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way

How can you increase EQ?

Unlike IQ, you can strengthen your EQ.

• Practice self-awareness and mindfulness

• Be aware of how emotion hinders your decision-making (e.g., procrastinator, worrier, avoider…)

• Choose to focus on your strengths

• Allow yourself to be open and vulnerable

• Be courageous

• Work with a coach
