Emotional intelligence is the key to both personal and professional success. Many leaders cannot recognise, understand and manage their own emotions talk less of managing others’.

This unit takes leaders through the art of knowing, developing and applying intelligence in managing their own emotions and that of their followers. It helps them to understand the importance of awareness that emotions can drive our behavior and impact people (positively and negatively), and learning how to manage these emotions  – both our own and others – especially when we are under pressure.

Lastly we discuss how to be an emotionally intelligent and humanising leader.
