This 3 day course represents the
very best mix of methods to identify EI strengths and developmental areas as
well as highly practical ways to develop these skills in others. The
straightforward Q-OPD Emotional Intelligence Model© and Emotional
Attribute Model© subsumes the EI model popularised by Daniel Goleman (also
referred to as EQ) and the SQ model described by Danah Zohar and will allow you
to structure your development work for maximum results.
WHAT EXACTLY IS 'EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE' ?
Emotional
Intelligence (EI) is the ability to realise our goals and find meaning in our
lives by the skilful use of emotions as a powerful source of information,
energy and influence. At its most basic EI is the capacity for recognising and
understanding emotions in ourselves and others and managing these feelings and
emotions in order to relate more effectively with others.
At an
organisational level EI is about optimising the nature and quality of the
connections that exist between teams and divisions. Employees in today's
organisations have to cope with long hours, manage high levels of stress and
function in increasingly complex business environments and somehow balance this
with all the demands of their personal lives. Research shows that people with
high levels of EI are better able to manage such demands and realise their
dreams; fully utilise their knowledge and experience and manifest their unique
abilities in productive, innovative and sustainable performance.
Developing EI skills results in:
- Increased bottom-line
performance and personal fulfilment
- Greater enjoyment and the
ability to work effectively under pressure
- Building trusting and
satisfying relationships
- Increasing innovation and
creativity
- Managers inspiring and
motivating individuals who work for them
In short, Emotional
Intelligence is concerned with helping an individual to increase their Inter-
& Intra-personal effectiveness by:
- Developing their awareness of
themselves, others and organisations
- Effectively managing
themselves, displaying a high level of social skills and achieving results
within organisations
- Consistently motivating and
inspiring themselves and others
- Displaying purpose,
congruence and integrity
- Achieving fulfilment and
meaning in their careers, lifestyles and relationships.
