Better Decision-Making Using Emotional Intelligence

Webcast: October 13, 2009

Business outcomes rest on good decisions made by leaders and teams. If you question how some decisions get made in your organization, either by leaders or in meetings, there may be a lack of emotional intelligence in play. In the absence of emotional intelligence, decisions can be myopic, biased, or made by "group think" with no clear thinking, listening, or examination of data really going on at all. Wrong decisions can damage business opportunities, and choosing the wrong fork in the road can lead to a "death spiral" for the company. This webcast explores aspects of emotional intelligence that can be developed to make sound business decisions. If you lead or participate in a team that has a lot at stake, this webcast is for you!

Leadership Is a Relationship: How Emotional Intelligence Is a Prerequisite to Exemplary Leadership

Webcast: March 11, 2009

Leadership is a relationship between those who aspire to lead and those who choose to follow. It's the quality of this relationship that matters most when we're engaged in getting extraordinary things done. Strategies, tactics, skills, and practices are empty without understanding the human aspirations that connect leaders and constituents. A leader-constituent relationship that's characterized by fear and distrust will never, ever produce anything of lasting value. A relationship characterized by mutual respect and confidence will overcome the greatest adversities and leave a legacy of significance.

And because leadership is a relationship, a leader's ultimate success is indisputably linked to their emotional intelligence. In this Webcast, best-selling and award-winning author Jim Kouzes will explore this fundamental truth about leadership and how all of the evidence that he and his coauthor, Barry Posner, have gathered during their over 25 years of research strongly indicate that emotional intelligence is a prerequisite to exemplary leadership.

Here are a few of the key messages, and their EI connections, that Jim will address:

  • The most important leaders in organizations-and in our lives-are not the ones at the top; they are the leaders who are closest to us. Leadership is not about position. It's about interpersonal relationships.
  • Personal values, not organizational values, drive commitment. Clarity of values and beliefs requires deep self-awareness and independence.
  • Being forward-looking is the quality that most differentiates leaders from individual contributors, meaning that becoming a leader requires optimism and have a strong sense of social responsibility.
  • But, it is not just the leader's vision, indicating that leaders must be able to empathize with and relate to other's hopes, dreams, aspirations, and need.
  • Challenge and adversity is present in every instance of personal-best leadership, suggesting that leaders must have high tolerance for stress.
  • The best leaders are the best learners, so leaders must be flexible and adaptable as situations change.
  • It's what you do every three minutes that counts the most.
  • Join Jim for a provocative and lively discussion of the dynamics of the leader and constituent relationship. more »

    How Effective Leaders Coach with Compassion (vs. Coach for Compliance)

    Webcast: December 2, 2008

    Great leaders inspire us to be at our best and move beyond to achieve break-through performance. Although great leaders talk of strategy and competition, they are in tune with others around them and establish a deep emotional connection called resonance. These leaders' emotional intelligence allows them to create and nurture these resonant relationships. They use their EI as a path to resonant leadership through mindfulness, hope and compassion. Since these are experiences essential to renewal of the human organism at the neurological, hormonal, emotional, and behavioral levels, they are the best antidote to the ravages of chronic stress. This webcast will reveal longitudinal research studies about how coaching with compassion is key to leadership development, and why it is central to your talent's renewal and sustainable improvements.
