Maximizing Leadership Impact

with Emotional Intelligence

The core competencies of emotional intelligence (EQ) are at the heart of successful leadership. Emotions impact your team’s decisions, behaviour and performance. An effective leader must have strong interpersonal skills and impactful relationships if their organizations are to also be highly effective.  A strong foundation of emotional intelligence helps leaders assess their own behaviour and their workplace culture through an emotional intelligence lens and provides strategies to ensure that the emotional intelligence and well-being of employees and team members are suitably protected.

Strategic Influence and

Interpersonal Power

Strategic influence is a concept that first connoted military and geopolitical strategy. It spoke to a nation’s ability to affect the policy decisions of other states essentially through control of information. In the business community, it has come to describe the ability of an individual, department or organization to influence the decisions of others. Strategic influence is interpersonal power, and as Ken Blanchard noted, “The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.”

With the flattening of power structures, the most effective way to persuade others is to secure their trust and influence their attitudes and actions in a constructive “win-win” mindset. Mastering the art of influence and persuasion are essential skills for anyone pursuing a leadership role.

In this program, you will learn the use of persuasive strategies and influence techniques skills under a variety of situations and with individuals displaying disparate leadership and behavioural styles.

We are less vulnerable to stress, meaning we’re happier, healthier and less likely to suffer from burnout. We have a greater awareness of the time we spend on unproductive activities, and we can devote more time to meaningful work that connects with a larger purpose.
