Description
Emotional intelligence (EI) is crucial for effective leadership. Competencies and characteristics of EI include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management, empathy, and motivation. Emotional intelligence has been associated with higher productivity, performance and job satisfaction in numerous fields. Leaders with high EI are more capable and confident and are able to relate more positively with others on the team. High EI correlates to crucial workplace skills including conflict management, communication and teamwork.
We will ask participants to complete an EI assessment prior to the session. During the session, we will discuss your strengths, areas for improvement, and strategies for boosting your EI.
This is the 5th session of the 2024–2025 Team Science Seminar Series.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Utilize a self-assessment survey to understand your strengths and areas for improvement related to EI competencies.
- Understand the basic competencies of emotional intelligence and how these competencies impact leadership.
- Identify one to two actions that you take to strengthen your emotional intelligence.
