Emotional Intelligence for Future Business Leaders

Overview:
In this fast-changing environment, where digital technology is rapidly evolving, it is important to understand the crucial role of EQ in the workplace and how we can use it to our benefit. EQ is a key skill required by future leaders and managers in this changing workplace. Ask yourself, can you identify emotional intelligence in an interview? Do you know how your emotional intelligence is affecting your workplace conduct? Are you able to use your emotional intelligence to your advantage?
Being able to harness your emotional intelligence is the key to success. Emotions affect how we operate, how we communicate and how we are perceived. Harnessing our own emotional intelligence and that of those around us directly impacts every facet of our lives.
