Emotional Intelligence for Managers

Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for those managers, supervisors and professionals who have had some training in counselling, people management and team leaders who wish to understand how feelings and emotions are managed, to reduce conflict, to ensure their staff are being heard and handled effectively, to increase effectiveness and inspire their teams.
CAVEAT: Be prepared to explore emotions, yours as well as of others, patterns of behaviour, unconscious impulses and firmly held beliefs which may be challenged.
Please be aware that there may be moments throughout the course which act as catalysts for some delegates. Empathy and a well-honed intuition are pre-requisites for a well-rounded, non-judgmental, manager who others want to follow and emulate.

Objectives

Often recruitment involves hiring someone on their abilities to handle tasks, but which can leave problems when human issues within teams surface. It is more common nowadays, and more desirable, to recruit individuals who are able to relate effectively with others, ensuring a fuller understanding and the proper handling of human behaviour patterns to get the best out of a team.
The course aims to provide a grounding in understanding personality using various psychometric testing assessments, and a number of psychological models, which offer insights into your personality traits, both conscious and unconscious.
