Emotional Intelligence Leadership

"This was the best training course I have done during my time in the Civil Service. Angela was brilliant and the course was structured and delivered beautifully. Thanks!"

Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport

Emotional intelligence leadership is a vital skill for managers to possess when helping lead their teams through stressful times to meet organisational goals.

 

This one-day course introduces the key concepts of emotional intelligence and equips those in senior positions with the skills and knowledge to lead their teams through this time of challenge. As well as giving an introduction to Emotional Intelligence (EI), delegates will understand how EI competencies relate to awareness and management of self and others, an introduction to different leadership styles and an opportunity to discover their own natural leadership styles.

 

At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisation, ensuring that each delegate gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
