Emotional intelligence has remained a relevant leadership concept despite initial skepticism, as its core qualities help leaders address fundamental challenges in today's changing business environment. These challenges include leaner organizations requiring influence over direct authority, a diverse multigenerational workforce with different expectations, and an evolving collaborative leadership role. Emotionally intelligent leaders listen actively, engage and motivate diverse teams, and inspire trust especially during economic uncertainty. Research shows these leadership behaviors deliver results by modifying brain chemistry and narrowing the performance gap between leaders who do and do not demonstrate emotional intelligence.

Leadership, Intangibles & Talent Q3 2009 Four GroupsFour Groups
Welcome to 2009’s third quarterly review, as with previous issues, engagement continues to be at the forefront of people’s thoughts. Behind the engagement debate however there seems to be a growing call for a wider reappraisal of the fundamental way corporations are organised and for me personally, this is the most interesting aspect of this quarter’s articles. Other themes include;
• Shifting the Organisational Pyramid
• The McLeod Review on Employee Engagement
• The Leader/Manager Debate
• Line Managers who Lead
• The Intrinsic Motivation of Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose
• The Irrationality of Human Behaviour
• Tomorrow’s HR Professionals - A Multi-Disciplinary Background
Articles are included from the likes of Harvard Business School, Henry Mintzberg, HR Magazine, McKinsey, the McLeod Review, the Partnership Institute, Personnel Today, Strategy + Business and TED.
The document discusses the evolving role and skills required of modern CEOs. It notes that CEOs today face greater scrutiny and expectations to communicate frequently with employees, customers, and shareholders. They must have strong communication skills to articulate their vision and decisions. Additionally, CEOs need to empower others in the organization and create a culture of leadership to allow for speed and agility to address challenges. Successful CEOs exhibit traits like authenticity, empathy, and an ability to nurture talent so the organization can respond quickly when needed.

This document discusses the leadership style of servant leadership. Some key points:
1) Servant leadership focuses on serving the needs of team members rather than exercising authority. The leader prioritizes helping team members succeed over asserting their own power.
2) For project managers, servant leadership can help secure team buy-in and engagement. It encourages team members to take on leadership roles through delegation, training, and positive reinforcement.
3) While servant leadership emphasizes listening to followers, project managers must balance various stakeholder needs, including the project sponsor's objectives. Limiting scope changes and not allowing a single person's request to redefine the project are important.

Coaching New Managers For Success TranscriptTom Floyd
Many companies still take the sink-or-swim approach to training new managers. After a day or two of HR-mandated training, you’re on your own.
But today, no company can afford not to properly prepare its mid-level managers for their new roles.
Professional coaching is one of the most effective tools in helping new managers make the transformation from individual contributor to management.
This program discusses where and how coaching fits into management training and how it can increase the overall effectiveness of your management team.

Summary
Research shows that individuals new to management can have a variety of myths about how to be successful in a management role.
From not being able to see linkages and interdependencies across the organization to learning how to get commitment instead of compliance from employees, our experts discuss how these perceptions can affect how new managers perform in their first 3 to 6 months.
Guests explain how coaches can guide new managers in their process of self realization, as they adjust to their new roles.

This document provides information about speaking engagements and seminars led by Leandro Herrero in 2013. It lists several keynote speeches and seminar topics that Herrero can present on, which focus on topics like change management, leadership, innovation, and organizational transformation. It also describes multi-day executive leadership retreats that Herrero leads, which involve introspective exercises and discussions to develop participants' skills and mindsets as leaders. Contact information is provided for Lucy Marshall to inquire further about booking Herrero or his team for an event.
The document summarizes key findings from the 15th Annual Global CEO Survey conducted by PwC. It discusses declining confidence in the global economy among CEOs. While confidence in their own companies' growth prospects is higher, no CEOs are "very confident" about 12-month revenue growth. CEOs are focusing on adapting their operations to local markets, addressing risks from greater integration, and making talent a strategic priority to overcome execution challenges and position for longer-term growth.
This document discusses how leaders can build trust in the workplace in 3 key ways:
1) Effective communication practices like transparency, listening, and frequent information sharing.
2) Demonstrating strong character through integrity, humility, admitting mistakes, and congruence.
3) Balanced competence in both technical skills and leadership abilities, while also trusting other employees.
The article argues that rebuilding trust should be a priority for leaders, as high levels of trust can foster employee engagement, productivity, and organizational success, while low trust has negative financial and performance impacts.
How Extraordinary Leaders Double Profitstconsolini
Extraordinary leaders can double profits according to a study of 300,000 leadership evaluations and business metrics. The top 10% of leaders produced net incomes of $4.5 million compared to losses of $1.2 million for the bottom 10%. While direct profit attribution is difficult, extraordinary leaders positively impact key drivers like employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity that strongly correlate with profitability. Organizations can develop extraordinary leaders through data-driven models identifying the 16 key leadership competencies and focusing development on building these strengths.
This article discusses how organizations can develop a collective ambition to thrive during uncertain times. It outlines seven elements that comprise a collective ambition: purpose, vision, targets/milestones, strategic priorities, brand promise, core values, and leader behaviors. Companies with a well-defined collective ambition collaborate to provide "glue" through engagement and "grease" through disciplined execution. The article examines how Standard Chartered Bank strengthened its collective ambition during the recession by recommitting to its founding principles, building engagement. It also looks at how Four Seasons used its ambition to enable transformational change. Developing a collective ambition requires involvement from HR in shaping the story and building capabilities to achieve the future vision.
Successful leadership requires a balance of several factors. In 2005, James Haner & David Williams developed the Behaviors, Competencies & Responsibilities approach to leadership. In this first in a series of 3 White Papers, the focus is on Behaviors.

Douglas Bernhardt is a visiting lecturer in competitive intelligence at two business schools in South Africa and provides consulting and training services for firms in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. He previously served as Managing Director for a Geneva-based consultancy. In this article, he argues that many business strategies will not work due to over-optimistic projections rather than sustainable competitive advantages. He asserts that executives must become open-minded consumers of strategic intelligence on the external environment to better plan for the future.
Unlocking The Potential Of Frontline Managers Exec BriefingJeff Lively
Times of change present many challenges for organizations, particularly for frontline managers whose people will be responsible for implementing the change. Pressure to perform is high, as are emotions, and everyone is expected to do more with less.
France has introduced quotas requiring publicly traded companies to have at least 40% of board seats held by women by 2017. Other initiatives include a public database of qualified female candidates for board positions. Currently, women hold about 20% of board seats in publicly traded French companies.
It’s hard to sustain the top management balancing act. The ability to achieve and maintain the balance between opposing tensions is a critical skill for top managers. We discuss the balancing role, the challenge of identifying and developing this skill, and some ideas about finding balance.
There are no definitive ways to manage people, but good managers share some approaches. The document discusses managing smart people by focusing on their talents, making people visible in the organization, and asking direct questions to understand what support people need to succeed. It also emphasizes cultivating an environment where open communication and the best ideas rise to the top over strict hierarchy. Overall, the document suggests managers prioritize understanding and enabling their reports to do their best work.
During the recession, companies asked employees to take on additional roles and responsibilities with lower staffing levels to cut costs. Now that the economy is improving, companies should consider letting top performers focus on what they do best again instead of keeping them overloaded. While cutting costs made sense in hard times, companies risk losing their most talented employees and not achieving their full potential if key staff remain overburdened as the economy recovers. It may be time to hire additional employees and adjust roles so top performers have space to excel again.
IBM Global Business Services explores leadership lessons that can be learned from online gaming. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) involve thousands of simultaneous global players working towards common goals. Survey responses from 214 professionals with experience in both corporate and gaming environments found that most key leadership behaviors are relevant in both domains. However, collaborative behaviors may be even more important for leadership success within online games compared to corporations, due to the virtual environment requiring trust-building without face-to-face interaction. Visioning behaviors were also found more critical for corporate versus gaming leadership. Overall, the study indicates that leadership fundamentals translate between domains but importance of behaviors may differ based on environment characteristics like virtual interaction versus physical proximity.

1) A high-performing family functions well by allowing for individual preferences and talents while also binding members emotionally to go above and beyond until success is achieved.
2) Key factors that enable high performance in families - providing room for individual preferences and talents, which leads to fulfillment, and creating an emotional bond that compels extra effort.
3) These same factors can impact organizational performance when managers identify employees' preferences, unfold their hidden talents, and develop emotional competencies that motivate going above and beyond.

The document discusses leadership and what makes an effective leader. It distinguishes between managers and leaders, noting that while managers focus on stability and controlling resources, leaders look to the future and engage people. Leaders inspire followers through their vision and values rather than relying on formal authority. The document suggests that true leadership comes from the qualities one possesses, not their job title or position in the organization. Effective organizations need both managers and leaders to work together to achieve goals and guide the organization.

Unlocking The Potential Of Frontline Mgrs Exec Briefing Sbpmother55
This document outlines six keys to unlocking the potential of frontline managers. The six keys are: 1) Identify employees with the capability and interest to be good managers. 2) Help managers understand their team's goals and roles. 3) Help managers understand the people they manage. 4) Help managers understand themselves and how they impact their people. 5) Don't assume managers know how or when to coach. 6) Minimize administrative work to give managers more time to develop people.

The social life of ideas: From innovation to profitHay Group India
The main challenge in organizational innovation lies in its execution, and not in having more ideas. Top companies create supportive cultures that transform ideas into profitable investments.
Companies need innovation to survive. In fact, there is no shortage of clever people and smart ideas. Hence the competitive edge comes from having the best execution – from the time the idea is first identified, shepherded through the corporate maze, and into the hands of the paying customer.
And yet, in many companies, the chase for short-term profitability can become the Achilles heel of long-term business sustainability. The way to avoid this is to have a deep-rooted culture that promotes innovation and new ideas to filter up and sideways.
This document discusses sustaining organizational culture change. It begins by explaining that culture represents how things are done in an organization and is an important driver of employee behavior. However, culture is intangible and changing behaviors across an organization is challenging. Most change efforts do not have lasting impact because they do not address the deeper drivers of culture like shared purpose and individual beliefs. To sustain change, interventions must target these underlying aspects of culture. The document advocates for aligning the individual, social, and organizational dimensions of culture to create shared meaning for employees. Leaders play a key role in culture transformation by modeling new behaviors and sending consistent messages. Lastly, the document notes that culture change is a journey that requires going deep, aligning culture

The document discusses different learning styles and how understanding learning styles can help people work together more effectively. It describes four main learning styles: diverging (creators), assimilating (planners), converging (decision makers), and accommodating (do-ers). Understanding one's own learning style and the styles of others can help tailor communication and tasks to people's strengths. This allows for better motivation, commitment to goals, and collaboration within teams where members have diverse styles.
This document discusses aligning an organization's strategy and culture. It outlines three key ways to do this:
1. Aligning shared values, organizational messages, and desired behaviors to drive results. High performing companies clearly communicate their purpose and values throughout the organization.
2. Engaging and enabling employees to enhance performance. Organizations must ensure employees have what they need to do their jobs well and feel supported, not just motivated.
3. Challenging unwritten rules to enable transformation. Leaders must confront unhelpful cultural norms and behaviors internally to drive change.
The changing face of reward examines how the business drivers of reward are changing due to the impact of the global downturn and other macroeconomic trends in the global economy.
The document summarizes key findings from Hay Group's annual Top Executives Compensation Report 2012-2013. Some of the main points include:
- Executive compensation in India is expected to rise moderately by 9% in the coming year.
- Factors like markets, strategy, culture and ambitions are better indicators of executive pay than job level alone.
- Companies place much higher value on the CEO role compared to other top executives, with CEOs paid 3-4x more in some industries.

Talent Q provides online psychometric assessments called Dimensions and Elements that measure personality traits and abilities. [1] The assessments can be used for screening, selection, development, and other talent decisions. [2] They are quick to complete, adaptable, and provide data to inform various talent processes. [3] Organizations see returns through improved predictions of job performance, lower costs from streamlined processes, and better matching of candidates to roles.
Talent Q’s Dimensions provides a cost-effective way to measure the capability of sales staff, especially when assessing large numbers in revenue-critical roles.
CEOs at the world’s most successful companies know that they can only safeguard their organization’s competitive future if they have the right leaders to develop and implement their strategy.
Future winners are investing in the right leaders today. As in past recessions margins are being cut, costs pushed down, currencies are shifting – and future winning organisations are starting to reposition themselves.
This document summarizes strategies for leaders to avoid collusive managerial delinquency and address organizational culture risks. It discusses how inappropriate norms and risk-taking develop gradually through unchallenged assumptions. Leaders should explore internal doubts and uncertainties, understand implicit norms, and check assumptions behind language. Better listening and acknowledging diverse views in groups can surface issues to address before problems escalate.
Ask someone to name some management gurus and it’s a pretty safe bet that the name Bob Geldof won’t come top of their list. On the face of it, the rock star who sang about hating Mondays might sound like one of the most unlikely experts on management issues.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) helps measure and develop high-performance behaviors in employees using the validated Emotional and Social Intelligence Competency Inventory (ESCI). The ESCI measures 12 EI competencies through a 360-degree assessment and provides individualized feedback reports to help employees strengthen their EI. Research shows that EI accounts for two-thirds of the difference between average and top performers and is particularly important for complex roles. Organizations that implement the ESCI see benefits like enhanced innovation, faster change acceptance, better resource use, and improved motivation and collaboration.
In the words of EI guru Dr Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence is: ‘the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships.’
According to new research from Hay Group, between one-third and one-half of employees report work conditions that prevent them from being as productive as they could be. The book "The Enemy of Engagement" outlines hidden impediments to employee performance such as excessive procedures, lack of resources, and narrow roles. It provides managers with insights and tools to ensure employees are willing and able to contribute at their maximum potential and radically improve productivity. The book is authored by leaders in Hay Group's employee research division and will be published in October 2011.

in the workplace. But what’s worse is having people who are

your staff from performing to the best of their ability.
