  • Why Doesn't Leadership Training Produce Leaders? - Great leadership is one of the keys to long-term organisational success; so how come there seems to be such a shortage? In the corridors of political power, and in the boardrooms of large and small organisations, we regularly hear the questions: "Where is the inspired leadership we crave?", "Where is our next generation of leaders coming from?", "Where is the flair and inspiration we need to take us to the next level?" If asked, you could probably say what 'leadership' is. Like everyone else, you've read the books and seen the leadership competency frameworks. You could clearly describe how it feels to be well and poorly led - you 'know it when you see it'.
  • Emotional Intelligence - An Approach for Today and Tomorrow - By enhancing the Emotional Intelligence (EI) of its employees, an organization can successfully leverage a key trend identified in Patricia Aburdene's Megatrends 2010: "The Wave of Conscious Solutions." As we enter this new era welcoming the widespread application of conscious techniques in business, ensure that your organization is an early adopter, reaping the benefits over your competitors who lag behind mired in traditional business beliefs. Emotional Intelligence, a conscious solution to knee-jerk reactionary emotional habits, is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge from your emotions and the emotions of others. If you recognize what you feel, you can make better decisions about what actions to take (or not take).
  • Emotional Intelligence - A Successful Transition Plan for the CEO - The Successor's Dilemma - The emotionally charged issue of CEO succession is one of the biggest challenges corporate boards face today. It's also one of the most critical decisions that a board makes. Much has been written about the "successor's dilemma" since management consultant Dan Ciampa first defined the term. However, the successor is not the only one who experiences a dilemma. It's not unusual to see an individual brought in as president or chief operating officer with the intention of grooming him or her for the highest office and then watching that person walk out the door before ascending to the top job.

V.P. Of Manufacturing ...CEO and CFO... Project Manager These are all positions and in these positions you may or may not exhibit leadership skills.

  • Emotional Intelligence - Working from the Inside Out - Emotional Intelligence is your ability, either innate or learned, to acquire and apply knowledge from your emotions and the emotions of others.

They then lease the patents on those methods to oil companies. Recently, Joe was able to put his EI skills into practice and help his company's bottom line.
  • Emotional Intelligence - High-leverage Factor for Performance Excellence - A colleague, who I haven't heard from in years, requested a copy of my model depicting the various factors affecting people's performance. He described the model as, "Probably the best tool ever for explaining why people do or don't perform as desired." While that model is very effective, I have since learned that it is flawed. It fails to represent the magnitude of the most critical factor affecting performance - Emotional Intelligence.
  • Sharpening Professional Effectiveness - We have all heard of IQ (intelligence quotient) which measures our intellectual ability and often predicts school performance. However, the idea of Emotional Intelligence or Emotional Quotient (EQ) is not as well known or understood even though it may determine as much as 80% of a person's life success. IQ determines about 20%. The idea of Emotional Intelligence (EI) was proposed in the early 1980's. Daniel Goleman's book Emotional Intelligence (1995) popularized the idea in the United States.

  • The Emotional Intelligence of Leaders Drives Profitability - Peter's Story - After landing a challenging job as a new product manager, Peter was on top of the world.
  • Aptitude + Attitude = Altitude. Part 1 of 3 - Technical aptitude alone is insufficient Jimmy Conners, winner of 109 professional singles tennis titles says "There's a thin line between being #1 or #100 and mostly it's mental." In his well-researched book, Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman shows that it's our attitude more than our aptitude that determines our altitude.
  • Emotional Intelligence - A Solution to Turnover - Are you aware that your company could be harboring a virus, potentially costing you millions of dollars annually? Negative emotions can be like a stealth virus that drains both financial and human resources from your company. And unless you've safeguarded everyone by developing their emotional intelligence (EI) skills and creating a positive emotional climate, high turnover can be contagious. The key to preventing an outbreak of this virus at your company is an emotionally intelligent retention strategy.
  • Leadership Strategy - Horses teach the first step of Emotional Intelligence for effective leadership - My horse, Minnie is sleek and black with eyes that dart left and right watching my every move. She is standing stiff and tense by the round pen wall, waiting for me to begin our workday. Her ears are turned towards me and her eyes are wide, showing the white around the pupils. She looks like she is ready to bolt for the slightest reason.
  • Office Communication: When It Doesn't Work - When a person indicates they are defensive, you might as well hang it up for the time being. It means they are not capable of taking in any new information and therefore not amenable to working on solutions.
  • The Big Question: Why Don't Middle Managers Know How To Lead? - This question appeared on a blog recently, and of course it caught my interest as it was framed in terms of Emotional Intelligence. I maintain the answer is quite simple: because no one ever taught them how. Now, let me say that I don’t know that middle managers don’t know how to lead. In fact I know many who DO know how to lead, and it is one of the most difficult jobs there is. But for those who don’t, I’ve found that in the vast majority of cases, a person who is not exercising good Emotional Intelligence skills is not doing this because the skills were never taught.
  • Benefits of Emotional Intelligence Skill-building - Significant benefits in the three categories of decision-making, relationships, and health can be gained by increasing your Emotional Intelligence skills. Every behavior, every action and reaction, every situation you may encounter is impacted by the decisions you make, your relationships and your physical well-being. They apply to your family relationships as well as your business and professional interactions. Decision Making By becoming aware of what you are feeling in the moment you have information you can use to make a decision about what to say or do now. Developing emotional self-regulation skills allows you to quickly transform negative, draining emotions into more positive, productive ones, enabling you to think and act more rationally at any time. Your moment-to-moment decision-making is enhanced significantly.
  • But How Can I Use Emotional Intelligence? - I’m sure you’re hearing the term Emotional Intelligence. It’s being talked about a lot these days. For most people there’s an immediate “click”. We recognize it as the missing piece!
  • How To Avoid The ' De-Stress Default' Trap - Don't live your life in De-Stress Default. "De-Stress Default" is our normal, knee-jerk reaction when things go wrong. When a child spills milk, our knee-jerk reaction is to become angry. When the boss yells at us, our knee-jerk reaction is to respond negatively or think negatively. When something stressful happens, we tend to become more stressed. Stress is contagious.
  • Is Emotional Intelligence Just The Fad Du Jour? - “I’ve been doing this for 15 years,” Annette told me. “It just wasn’t called this.” I was explaining to a counselor in Australia about the field of emotional intelligence, and she was sure she’d found it first. Likely you'll feel the same way. “Oh, I know what you’re talking about,” James tells me, as I present a proposal to coach his staff on EQ. “Team building, leadership, getting along, cutting down on the politics.
  • Your 21st Century Education And Emotional Intelligence - There are five components of a twenty first century education, the kind of education that will actually deliver the financial and wealth building results that people deserve.

  • The Hidden Secret to Leadership Success - Think back to when you first starting working in your profession. There was quite a bit of variance in the talent and intelligence of your many peers, wasn't there? Now that you've moved up the food chain, the variance isn't so big, is it? After a certain point, talent and intelligence alone won't help you get ahead. It's the mind game that counts. You can psych yourself up or psych yourself out. One tool I've used with clients for many years is from the world of sports psychology. I first learned this tool from Dr. Rebecca Kraus, a sports psychologist for the Olympics and a superb trainer at the Center for Creative Leadership. I've modified the approach just a bit over the years for pragmatic reasons.
  • Why Study Emotional Intelligence? - Haven’t you wondered why some people have more success than others? In our personal quests to reach our potential and maximize our personal power and assets, we ponder what the mix is that makes for success in life – work and relationships both. For many decades (perhaps since the Age of Reason), the Western World focused on cognitive intelligence, generally referred to as IQ. We assumed a high IQ was the ticket. However, you may have noticed, as early researchers in the field did, that IQ is not the only answer, and sometimes not the most important part of the equation. Even an IQ-genius like Einstein states that there is something more going on – that his theories were leaps of intuition. Daniel Goleman is often misquoted as saying that EQ matters more than IQ, when what he actually said was “it CAN matter more.
  • Your 21st Century Education On Emotional And Financial Intelligence - There are five components of a twenty first century education, the kind of education that will actually deliver the financial and wealth building results that people deserve. Unfortunately, a 21st century education is not something that you are going to get in the traditional school system, requiring instead that you go out and seek it on your own. The concept of a twenty first century education system is simple: It teaches financial intelligence, which is a crucial part of life that absolutely no one appears to be willing to teach these days. It incorporates five components that are absolutely crucial to guaranteeing your success, which are emotional intelligence, financial intelligence, four key skills, results purpose action and life by design.
  • What Abilities Reflect Intelligence in Human Beings? - I believe there are many ways to define intelligence besides using an IQ test. I have a relative who has an IQ off the charts, yet he cannot remember to tie his shoes before he goes out the door. Common sense, something that appears to be not so common in some of us, tops the list when trying to define intelligence.
  • What a Military Intelligence Education Can Teach You - Ongoing military intelligence education is critical to ensure that military intelligence professionals stay on the leading edge of strategic security issues around the globe. For the most part, military intelligence education focuses on the same type of training received from civilian intelligence education programs, but with more emphasis on military objectives and tactical intelligence. The goal of military intelligence is the acquisition and analysis of information on the enemy's plans and intentions, combat capabilities and limitations, and its own intelligence collection.
  • How To Avoid A Nudge From The Judge - Being able to manage your anger is an important life skill. Everyone has anger, it’s a normal emotion, and, like all emotions it’s there to give us information. But how you respond to anger is the difference between living a good life and “A nudge from the judge.
  • When A Physician Makes An Error - Emotional intelligence makes you better able to handle stress and more resilient. If there's anything a physician needs, it's that. Doctors makes mistakes. They react emotionally when they do. In what purports to be the first study on this, the Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety ( http://www.jcrinc.com ) reported "The Emotional Impact of Medical Errors on Practicing Physicians in the United States and Canada" this month. Of course the pressure in this life-and-death field is tremendous to never make an error. Medicine draws perfectionists and highly competent individuals who are hopefully well-trained, and if you are being cared for by a physician you would say -- I should hope so. I was married to a doctor and I know what they go through. I can miss an appointment with a client.
  • When It Is Emotional Intelligence And When It Is Not - As we all race to understand Emotional Intelligence, arguably the hottest thing on the business scene globally, there are many questions. As ‘Ask the EQ Expert’ for a major business website, I’ve been asked: ·Isn’t ‘Emotional Intelligence’ a contradiction in terms? ·Isn’t there such a thing as too much emotion? ·It seems a ‘natural’ for relationships, but do you think emotions belong in the workplace?? ·How can I learn it? DO EMOTIONS BELONG IN THE WORKPLACE? We do business through people, and with people. Work is relationships, and, whether you approve or not, emotions are at work. We don’t leave them at home when we come to work.
  • Successful Hiring Strategies - There are just not enough talented people to fill job vacancies yet organisations today are often reluctant to go beyond an individual's qualifications, skills or schooling when recruiting. Taking a broader view might open up the talent pool.
  • Leadership - Horses teach the meaning of Follow-ship..do you know how to lead so they will follow? - Working with horses taught me Inspirational Leadership—leadership that seeks to inspire others by who you are as well as what you do. Large, powerful animals, horses can easily overrule you if you attempt to dominate and use force. To lead a horse you must convince the horse that he wants to do what you, the leader, want him to do. Leadership, when you strip away all the layers, is really about your ability to inspire others to follow you: Follow-ship. When you think of Leadership as being the ability to inspire follow-ship, then the question you must ask of yourself is, who do I need to be and what skills and abilities do I need to inspire others to follow me?
  • Are You In A School Daze? - All around the country along about now, the kids are going back to school.

  • Brain Fitness Case Study: Kris Kringle - How BrainFit is the man in the big red suit? Does old St. Nick adhere to the four cornerstones of brain fitness to take good care of his egg's noggin? All in all he seems to do a fairly good job, but let's take a closer look. First off is Nutrition. I'd guess that the diet up in the north pole has to be similar to the Eskimos.
  • The Management Myth - Up until about 1995, most leadership books that were written were really about management. The message was leadership and management were one in the same. A good manger was thought to be a good leader. The simple truth of the matter is that leadership and management are as different as day and night. Managers do things right. Managing is about maintaining systems, processes and procedures; in other words, management is about managing the work environment and controlling those workplace elements that we can control. Leaders on the other hand do the right things. Leadership is about influence; dealing with those things that we can't control. Things like people. Leaders understand that leadership is about getting people to do those things that you require them to do, when they are not obligated to do it.

  • Mr. Mafioso Does Emotional Intelligence - I love Mr. Mafioso on AskMen. “Look, college boy,” he writes, “there are certain lessons that all the books in the world couldn’t teach you.” Strikes a chord with me. I came out of college quite the college girl. It was a college in rural Minnesota, very academic, very intellectual. How academic? How intellectual? More students pass the MedCAT from this school than any in the nation, or did at last count. It produces doctors and lawyers, but not necessarily rich ones; more typically labor lawyers and inner-city clinic doctors, or med and law-school professors. I think it attracts more than its share of NFs – Idealists (only 8-10% of the population). Whatever job the Idealist has, it’s a means to an end: saving the world. This is the college boy Mr. M.
  • What is a Fusion Intelligence Analyst? - In response to the global war on terrorism and the pervasive threat to homeland security, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has worked with state and local governments and law enforcement agencies to create Intelligence Fusion Centers located around the country.

  • Women, Leadership and Personality: Insights Form The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - The MBTI is extensively used for leadership development training and coaching in companies all over the world.

  • Leadership Games - Leadership Games That Will Improve Your Management Style - Playing leadership games is a popular technique that has been used in many leadership training camp or courses. These games are usually more interactive, as compared to other mind teaser games like chess or solitaire. To some, these leadership games might seem nothing more like a kiddy’s playground, but in actual fact, these leadership games are a good estimation of how good a leader you will be or how compatible you are as a leader. These are definitely necessary, and it is not a wonder that more and more successful businessmen are participating in leadership training courses.
  • Southwest Airlines: Emotional Intelligence Makes A Corporation Succeed - Southwest is the darling of the industry. For us early-adopters, it answered many needs that were not being met by other airlines from cheap fares, to its own version of refundable airfare, to, for heaven’s sake, a sense of humor on the front lines, to the firs casual wear for attendants, which gave us all permission to “get comfy” on those airplane flights. My gosh. They even freed us from that awful airplane food! According to their Internet financial report, 2006 marked Southwest’s 34th consecutive year of profitability. They became a “major” airline in 1989, the year they exceeded the billion-dollar revenue mark, and it remains the nation’s most successful low-fare, high frequency, point-to-point carrier.
  • Spitzer: What Was He Thinking? - That's the big question these days. From astrologists to therapists to historians to politicians, we are trying to figure out why - why did he do this? Even how COULD he do this? One explanation is Jung's concept of enantiodromia, one of those $1000 words. It is from the Greek "enantios" for opposite and "dromos," running course”. Jung meant it as the super abundance of any force inevitably producing its opposite. Note: inevitably. You may recognize this concept from the field of physics and equilibrium. Any extreme is opposed by the system in order to restore balance, or equilibrium. i.e., what goes up must (MUST) come down. It's equally true of emotions - why 12 steppers are taught to stay in the middle, emotionally;
  • Four Things Greater Than All Things Are: The Successful Seduction Of Women - Serving as “Attract Your Dream Partner” expert for a major website, I get questions.

  • NLP Techniques The Making Of Business Leaders - NLP or neuro-linguistic programming is a set of tools based on modelling successful people in all walks of life and has been around since 1976.

  • Leaders Under Construction - Developing Leadership Skills - Are leaders born or made? Well, leaders are born, but only in la la land!!! You can be born with the traits of a leader but the right encouragement is a must for developing leadership skills. While developing leadership skills at an early stage has its advantages, it’s never too late to start if you haven’t yet discovered the leader in you! And that’s not a whole load of motivational hogwash.
  • Training your staff in Business Intelligence can make all the difference - Every business generates huge amounts of data that is usually collected, stored and treated as a priceless asset. Data storage and backup is recognised as an ongoing cost. Sadly, stored data is often completely worthless. The reason is quite simple: In many companies the people who make the decisions don't understand how to extract useful information from their data and, worse still, they don't know how to change this situation. When it comes to running a company, comprehensive business intelligence is the most effective way to ensure the right decisions are made. In well-run companies, business intelligence is extracted from data by specialised computer programs and interpreted by people trained to understand how to use and disseminate the information they are given.

  • Leadership Development - Can horses teach you about leadership development? - Leadership development is a term that includes many personal self development skills and professional skills that get lumped into the term leadership development. Having been a leader all my life in many different venues I would have said that my leadership skills were good until I began working with my horses on a daily basis. Thus began my journey and my learning that leadership skills go deeper than surface skills and abilities. A little history on how I got into this work - with more than twenty years in corporate America in leadership, management, consulting, and training, I was looking for a new stress-reducing hobby.
  • Allowing Yourself To Grow And Make Your Team Leadership Even Better - The idea of creating a valuable team leadership role within yourself is something that you probably strive for on a regular basis. You want to make sure that everyone knows you are a team player, but also a team leader, because the best team leaders are able to do this without appearing like they know everything. Modesty goes hand in hand with leadership, and perhaps this is something that you just happen to be good at.
