Session Title:
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) for Managers
Session Description:
The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report stated that emotional intelligence was one of the top 10 job skills by 2022, it is therefore critical that business leaders understand why hiring for this skill is critical to a successful business. Simply put, managers with high emotional intelligence (EQ) combined with a high IQ tend to lead people better to achieve organizational results. Incorporating an understanding of EQ into your workplace can improve management effectiveness, increase teamwork and have a positive impact on key measures. More and more, organizations are discovering that emotional intelligence skills in managers are a vital component of their organization’s success. Great managers know how to bring out the best of people — EQ is a vital part of that skill set. Managers who possess high EQ approach supervisory responsibilities from a different perspective. They understand the importance of communicating effectively with staff members and treating each employee with respect while remaining laser-focused on the organization’s desired results.

Learning Objectives:
- Understand what Emotional Intelligence is…and is not
- Consider why EQ is an essential component of high performing teams
- Explore how understanding ‘personalities’ and ‘preferences’ can enhance our Emotional Intelligence 
- Discuss the attributes of Emotionally Intelligent managers
- Develop an individual EQ action plan
