Featuring the BarOn Emotional Intelligence Inventory

Presented by the Leadership Development Institute

Emotional Intelligence has become a very popular and powerful concept in leadership training.  This forum reviews research demonstrating the critical connection between emotional intelligence and high performance.   After identifying the key components of emotional intelligence, you will discover your own strengths through feedback from a self-report assessment instrument, the BarOn EQi.  Because these crucial skills can be developed and enhanced over time, you will learn practical tips for significantly increasing your leadership impact.    

Part one of the workshop will address the following learning objectives:  

• Discovering the hidden driver of superior performance
• Learning the key elements of emotional intelligence
• Assessing your own emotional intelligence through the BarOn EQi
• Discussing steps for building essential leadership skills

Employee Engagement is becoming an urgent issue for leaders. Why?  Because leadership behaviors directly impact levels of employee engagement, performance, commitment and contribution.  Employee "discontent" is expected to reach crisis levels by next year, with 60% of people reporting that they plan to leave their current employer and 1 in 4 people reporting that they are networking and updating their resumes. Individuals are expressing pent up frustration about how they have been treated through the economic downturn.  This results in a disgruntled workforce, with as many as 50% of employees being disengaged at work.
