Emotional Intelligence is the foundation for establishing and maintaining great personal and business relationships … they are based on emotional awareness … how emotions impact the way we communicate and relate.

From a business perspective:

• Research by the Center for Creative Leadership has found that the primary causes of derailment in executives involves deficits primarily in handling change, not being able to work well in a team, and poor interpersonal relations;
• In top leadership positions, 80% of the difference is attributed to Emotional Competence; and,
• Top performers in complex jobs (eg, account managers) are over 120% more productive than average - with 66% of the difference attributed to emotional competence.

If teams with an emotionally intelligent leader are at least 20% more effective than other teams, then imagine the impact on the bottom line of an emotionally intelligent team! And what if that team was a happier and more productive team than you have ever experienced before?
