Emotional Intelligence and the Leadership Correlation

Today’s leaders need the ability to navigate through unexpected challenges, foster innovation, and build organizations where people connect and thrive. In other words, they need keen Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Research shows that EQ now accounts for 85-90% of what is required for exceptional performance and leadership. These skills improve leadership effectiveness and employee retention, as they help people connect to build a strong organizational culture and improve your bottom line. In Part 1 of this presentation, participants will learn more about the EQ competencies they must possess and strategies to build them. This webinar was presented by Samuel Aubrey, CEO Winston Salem Regional Association of REALTORS® and Allison Gilmore, Director of the Goizueta Doctoral Program at Emory University's Business School.
