Emotional Intelligence for Impact

Description

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is a relatively recent behavioural model, rising to prominence again in the mid 90’s and now an integral part of more formal management training and development at all levels. EQ is increasingly relevant to organisational development and developing people, because the EQ principles provide a new way to understand and assess people's behaviours, management styles, attitudes, interpersonal skills, and potential.
