Research by the Center for Creative Leadership
has found that the primary causes of derailment in leaders involve deficits in emotional competence.
The three primary deficits are:
- difficulty in handling change
- not being able to work well in a team
- and poor interpersonal relations
What creates SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE IN BEHAVIOR?
One of the foundations of emotional competence -- accurate self-assessment -- was associated with superior performance among several hundred managers from 12 different organizations (Boyatzis, 1982).
Leadership is not just about SMART goals, strategic planning, critical thinking, etc. In fact, the most influential and successful leaders of ALL TIME were not only able to master these important skills but to surpass the bar in one elemental way. They were able to use Emotional Intelligence to develop their followers & build teams.
EQ is your ability to be aware of your own emotional state and to be able to perceive and understand the emotions of those around you.
- Close to 90% of success in leadership is attributable to EQ
