Leading with Emotional Intelligence

The more complex the competitive environment is, the more managers need to put their Emotional Intelligence into practice to lead high-performance teams. 

Global companies, with multicultural teams distributed in different geographical areas, need managers with experience and knowledge in their specialty, but also with the ability to understand and manage people with empathy and sensitivity. 

The factor that marks the difference between success and failure is the human factor. Each person has a particular vision of situations, reacts differently to circumstances and values, opportunities and challenges.

Emotional Intelligence is decisive for professional development, as well as to boost productivity, innovation and adaptation to change. 

Emotional competencies, in the same way as social and cultural competencies, are considered essential skills in modern management.
