Session 3A: Leadership Essentials- Emotional Intelligence
Time and Date: 3:00-4:00 PM on Saturday, May 23
Session Type: Workshop
Location: Blusson Hall, Room 10021
Research clearly shows that Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is many more times effective than IQ in leadership roles. Why is EQ so critical to leadership? Your EQ is the level of your ability to understand and manage yourself and others, recognizing how to adapt, motivate and influence them toward a win-win outcome. In this workshop you will learn the basic competencies of EQ and how to develop your EQ and personal power in order to become an effective leader and/or contributor to your team.
Facilitator: Russell Cullingworth
