Emotional Intelligence is a combination of attitudes and behaviours that distinguish outstanding performance from average performance. It provides a framework for understanding how you manage yourself to be personally and interpersonally effective.  Your emotions are influenced by your attitudes.  In particular, your attitude towards yourself and your attitude towards other people.  There are 16 dimensions relating to Emotional Intelligence that great leaders will display.  In these interviews, we are going to explore how successful leaders demonstrate these EI behaviours in their work.

Mental Health is a Leadership Issue

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK and the theme is on relationships.  Building healthy relationships and connections both personally and professionally can have a significant impact on performance and our health.

And good mental health has a positive impact on business

  • 70 million work days are lost each year due to mental health problems in the UK, costing employers approximately £2.4 billion per year

So the theme this week is the importance of relationships for leadership

'A leader without a great team, or without an excellent relationship with his team, will struggle to achieve greatness, as a leader cannot do everything themselves.' - Gordon Tredgold
