Emotional Intelligence Management Training

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a critical group of competencies, capabilities and non-cognitive skills which help individuals to control and manage their emotional response to events and pressures.

While EI is important for workers at all levels, it’s especially crucial for managers and leaders to excel in emotional intelligence in order to maintain a healthy workplace environment. Leaders with excellent EI skills also have a talent for motivating, which in turn stimulates productivity.

Five EI competencies are generally recognized: motivation, self-awareness, self-regulation, social skills and empathy. These competencies are critical to being a successful leader and are demonstrated through leadership behaviors.

When surveyed, studies show that a vast majority of employees list emotional intelligence competencies – and not IQ or technical skills – as being the most important qualities in the kind of a leader that others respect and admire.

Typical worker comments:

• Leaders lead by example, are inspiring, not afraid of difficult tasks, focused and driven (motivation)
• Leaders are confident, honest, direct, consistent (self-awareness)
• Leaders are clear, decisive, straight forward, intuitive (self-regulation)
• Leaders are good communicators, approachable and listen to others (social skills)
• Leaders are empathetic, influential (empathy)

The impact of managers and leaders trained in emotional intelligence skills runs deep. Research has shown time and time again that a company that emphasizes elevated levels of EI with their leaders benefits with improved bottom lines.

One classic study in the restaurant sector demonstrated that restaurants managed by leaders with high emotional intelligence exhibited an annual growth of 28%. Similar data has been recorded in just about every type of business.
