This two-week programme combines:
Emotional Intelligence: Enhancing Management and Leadership Impact (approved by the Institute of Leadership and Management): 05 days
Executive Leadership in Action – Short Course: 05 days

This comprehensive programme is designed for the executive who wants to develop their personal insight and effectiveness and to grow as an emotionally intelligent leader. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) enables you to bring thoughts and feelings together, working in harmony with cognitive intelligence, to create a more rounded and successful individual.

In week one, delegates will work with a leading expert in the field of EQ to develop insights into what makes an emotionally intelligent leader and develop their skills to be able to use this to a positive effect in the workplace. The emotionally intelligent leader will be more resilient, have better work relationships and make smarter and more authentic decisions.

In week two, delegates will identify the qualities and values of a successful leader, focusing on their own personal development journey. They will explore and develop skills in effective influencing, the use of power, conflict resolution, taking greater responsibility, making difficult decisions and coaching others for improved performance.
