Leading with Emotional Intelligence

Program Overview

Emotionally intelligent leaders do more than manage their own reactions; they build teams that handle pressure, disagreement and change well. This program applies emotional intelligence to core leadership tasks: making decisions that account for emotions, leading through change and uncertainty, managing conflict, motivating and recognising people, building team-level emotional norms and psychological safety, and supporting wellbeing. Participants review common assessment tools such as EQ-i 2.0 and 360-degree feedback, and apply practices to Gulf workplace scenarios including restructuring, performance pressure and multicultural collaboration.
