Empower Your Future with Executive Coaching & EI Assessments

How to Use Emotional Intelligence to Become a Better Leader

There is abundant research on the impact emotions have on an individual's performance in the workplace. It shows that people often perform their worst when they experience unproductive feelings, such as frustration, concern, stress, inadequacy, and fear.

Research also shows that people perform their best when they feel involved in purposeful work that develops who they are and when they feel valued, cared for, consulted, respected, informed, and understood.

So, how can developing your leadership help ensure your people feel and perform their best?

What's at the core of leadership?

Leadership is fundamentally about facilitating performance, getting others to do their best, and doing their work effectively and efficiently. One of the most robust, consistent findings in the area of social sciences is that there is a direct link between the way people feel and the way people perform. As such, leaders must develop and demonstrate skills at identifying, understanding, and influencing emotions within themselves and others to inspire performance.

Emotionally intelligent leadership is about leaders intelligently using emotions to facilitate high performance in themselves and others. In the Emotionally Intelligent Leader engagement, leader clients first partake in a personal Genos EI Leadership Assessment to understand how they "show up" at work.

Coaching for change

Through coaching, leader clients will also explore and practice tools and techniques for applying emotional intelligence in leadership and creating conditions for others to achieve high performance.

In the coaching engagement, leader clients will:

• explore the neuroscience of emotions and emotional intelligence,

• examine tools and techniques for effectively asking for and responding to feedback,

• explore techniques for developing self and other awareness,

• examine how we can use reactive and proactive techniques to build our resilience and effectively manage strong emotions and

• explore an approach for facilitating engagement discussions with staff members.

• explore techniques for applying EI in leadership and creating high performance in others.

The Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Model

The Genos EI Leadership Model has been developed from over a decade of research examining how effective leaders use emotional intelligence abilities in their leadership of others. The model comprises six emotionally intelligent workplace competencies. These competencies represent skills and behaviors based on underlying abilities and experiences that are measurable, observable, and critical to successful job performance.

The six Genos EI Competencies are:

1. Self-Awareness

2. Awareness of Others

3. Authenticity

4. Emotional Reasoning

5. Self-Management

6. Inspiring Performance

Through evidence-based coaching techniques, we will explore each EI competency and co-create a tailored strategy plan to meet your organizational and career goals and objectives.
