Can a leopard change its spots? The bad behaviour of leaders has come into the spotlight over the last year and many commentators have called out a clear deficit of Emotional Intelligence in positions of power. From the US, where the world became obsessed with Former US President, Donald Trump to Australia, where a Federal Minister who was bullying women online was ordered to take empathy training. Whether you are an aspiring leader who behaves like John McEnroe in the office or a HR leader trying to tame the CEO, this podcast will help you understand: How an established leader with deeply entrenched negative behaviours can genuinely develop emotional intelligence. This episode features Cary Cherniss, co-chair of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations and author of ‘Leading with Feeling’: nine strategies of emotionally intelligent leaderships. Together with EI at Work co-hosts Marie El Daghl and Genos CEO, Dr Ben Palmer, they discuss: The factors that would determine whether an established leader / manager with entrenched negative behaviours can improve through EI development. The time it would it take for someone like this to truly gain and then effectively exercise EI. The likelihood a team would accept the change in their leader or manager, or be cynical of it. When to develop EI in a leader, or accept it’s just not possible. The top three most common obstacles or challenges leaders might face the first time they use newly found Emotionally Intelligent strategies. The evidence that supports a link between EI and leadership effectiveness and more. Interested in Emotional Intelligence?
