The Science Behind Great Leaders
Presented by Bill Benjamin
Thursday, June 7, 2012
What do highly effective leaders do differently? Is there a science to great leadership? The answer is yes and the key is learning the science of managing emotions. According to a recent Harvard study, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) counts for twice as much as IQ and Technical skills combined in determining who will be a star.
This session focuses on the science of managing emotions more intelligently to lead more effectively. The session provides individuals with the following learning opportunities:
- Increased awareness of the drivers of great leadership and the key concepts of emotional intelligence
- Understand the brain science of emotions that drive our behavior
- Increase Self-Awareness through self-assessment and interactive exercises, to identify the gaps between our intention and the impact we have on employees, peers and family.
- Learn strategies to increase self management and self control during times of adversity, conflict and change
- Learn and practice strategies that will help them connect more effectively with the key people in their lives, in order to create relationships based on trust and respect
What separates companies and individuals who get to the next level from those who cannot is the ability to intelligently manage emotions. This session draws from cutting-edge research and IHHP’s work with Olympic medalists, Fortune 500 companies and high performing leaders from around the globe.
