Which of these problems do you face in your organisation?
- a boss that everyone is scared of, who consequently only hears about bad news when it's too late
- resistance to change, based on fear
- high staff turnover
- a dysfunctional team, where no-one is addressing the people problems
- a negative emotional climate, where people come to work because they have to, not because they want to
- people who are scared to take the initiative in case they make a mistake
It's uncomfortable to even think about what the future impact of these problems will be if they are not addressed - which is maybe why they continue.
Emotionally intelligent organisations handle these problems. They create emotional climates and working practices, and encourage leadership styles, which make their people want to bring the whole of their creativity and enthusiasm to work, as opposed to just showing up.
We can help you to solve these problems and increase emotional intelligence - in your organisation, your team, or yourself. The Mind Works will design a programme that?s right for you.
Emotional intelligence is:
... the capacity for recognising our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves and for managing emotions effectively in others and ourselves.
- Daniel Goleman,
Research has shown that people with high levels of emotional intelligence have proven to be more successful than those with average levels. The higher you progress up the corporate ladder, the more difference emotional intelligence makes - because results at higher levels are determined not solely by technical ability but increasingly by how well you can unlock the potential of teams.
Research studies carried out by the Hay Group and psychologist Richard Boyatzis have found:
Experienced partners in a multi-national consulting firm who were assessed on their levels of emotional intelligence delivered $1.2 million more profit from their accounts than did other partners - a 139% incremental gain.
Software developers with high levels of emotional intelligence can develop effective software three times faster than others.
Sales Consultants with high levels of emotional intelligence generate twice the revenue of their colleagues.
A national furniture retailer found that sales people hired based on emotional intelligence had half the drop out rate during their first year. If you want to develop emotional intelligence in your organisation to match these results, call us now for an initial consultation. |
