Leadership: The Emotionally Intelligent Leader

A lot of general concepts delivered at an extremely slow pace. This course could be condensed into one a fraction of the size. There’s also a bit of misinformation.

Amazing lecture that x-rays completely the emotional intelligence of a leader. It breaks it down into multiple sections in order to capture the essence of the lecture. This course gave me a whole new perception of leadership. As a leader you also need to understand the personalities of your team members and treat them accordingly to get the best result.

I leaned a lot. As much as I want to revisit his course many times over the next few months and will be looking to apply learnings in my job, the course also has helped me start to defuse and help in a personal out-of-work conflict that has arisen in a group of my friends. So I am grateful for this timely training!

I am a logical thinker; a strong INTP. I have an overt passion for my career and this often leads to frustration and aggression. I’ve always said “I wear my passion on my sleeve”, as it is often visible if I don’t agree with something. It is not because I want to intentionally cause conflict – quite the opposite, I want to best for my team.

For much of my career, people have accepted this is who I am (not necessarily liked it), but accepted it because what I can deliver.

But this course is helping me to realise that it doesn’t need to be accepted. I am not going to be less of who I am by adjusting my behaviour to meet that of what other expect. I can control my behaviour; moreso, I can manage my behaviour for the benefit of the team, without sacrificing who I am.

This course definitely gave me more confidence as a new leader of my team!!

Thank you!!

This is a very very useful course, I found the concepts in this course to be very applicable to my work and life
