Course overview
What Is Emotional Intelligence in Leadership?
Emotional intelligence in leadership means noticing, understanding and handling your own feelings, and picking up on and answering the feelings of the people you lead. The course develops the self-awareness, composure, empathy and relationship skills that colour how leaders listen, settle disputes, motivate colleagues and weigh logic against intuition when they decide.
Interactive workshops, discussion and experiential exercises let participants practise keeping their composure, listening without judgement and giving honest feedback in situations leaders in Luxembourg encounter.
Open to executives, team leaders, entrepreneurs, educators and recent graduates, the course helps organisations in Luxembourg, where colleagues of many backgrounds and perspectives work together, develop leaders who act with empathy, resilience and authenticity and who build the trust that lets diverse teams collaborate well.
