Leadership is the intentional use of power with people toward some desired end. So how do you—any of us—do that? How do you effectively lead? Emotional Intelligence (EQ) provides an easily accessed and practiced skillset that can be nicely applied to leadership.
This introduction to leadership and EQ, an OKA exclusive delivered online, is a fast-paced overview of both leadership and Emotional Intelligence that emphasizes specific tips and techniques that any participant—whether a current or aspiring leader—can put to use immediately.
