Course overview
What Is Emotional Intelligence in Leadership?
Emotional intelligence in leadership is the skill of understanding and steering your own feelings while picking up on, and responding to, the feelings of others. The course strengthens self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy and relationship-building, and shows how these shape the way a leader talks with people, handles disagreement, keeps morale up and decides under pressure.
Interactive workshops, discussion and real-life cases give participants practice in staying composed, listening with compassion and offering candid feedback, using situations familiar to leaders in Liberia.
Participants in Liberia come from diverse backgrounds, from seasoned executives and emerging leaders to community organisers and government officials. Together they explore how their own emotions shape the way they lead, practise building relationships that cross cultural and social boundaries, and leave able to meet pressure with poise, resilience and compassion.
