Program Details:
Leadership development has become an essential part of preparing strong and effective next-generation leaders. In particular, emotional intelligence has emerged as a critical skill for leadership success. Research shows that: 90% of top performers have high emotional intelligence. Empathetic leaders perform more than 40% higher in employee engagement, coaching, and decision making and 95% of surveyed founders stated EQ in leadership is more important than IQ.
