Successful Change Begins With Emotionally Intelligent Leadership

70% of change initiatives fail. Most often, these failures are due to poor performance by leadership.

In this training, we’ll examine why taking an emotionally intelligent approach to leadership can mean the difference between a successful change initiative and one that fails.

Emotionally intelligent leaders are better able to understand how different people adapt to change. These leaders can more effectively address the challenges and issues associated with any change and build greater trust among team members. Greater trust will overcome many of the obstacles associated with change.

You’ll understand that any organizational change is an emotional event. By recognizing what emotions are in play, the emotionally intelligent leader can better manage the change process.

You’ll leave with a greater appreciation of the value of emotionally intelligent leadership and how it can positively impact change at any level in the organization.
