Tuesday, July 11, 2017 | 10:15AM–11:30AM | Pike 1 and 2, 1st Floor
Session Type: General Session
Leaders who possess a high level of emotional intelligence (EI) are far more successful than those who rely primarily on smarts or pure intelligence. They have a good understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their emotional triggers, and they have empathy for others. Leaders are even more effective when a high level of EI is combined with a good understanding of what really motivates them and their employees. We will explore the latest EI research and highlight techniques to cultivate EI.

Objectives: Understand the importance of emotional intelligence as a leader *Identify your own EI strengths and weaknesses *Explore the traits of emotionally intelligent leaders and consider how to grow in these areas
