The quality of a leader’s relationships with direct reports, colleagues, and customers is directly tied to success. This course explores how understanding emotional intelligence can help build professional relationships that are positive, productive, and effective. Emotional intelligence is made up of two main skills: personal competence, which is the ability to recognize and manage your own feelings; and social competence, which is the ability to manage your interactions by recognizing and responding to others’ feelings and behavior. Mastering both competencies is key to building effective relationships overall and underpins other leadership skills. This course also explores two of those skills—exercising influence and managing conflict—in the context of emotional intelligence.

An increasingly complex and global workplace demands a more sophisticated approach to collaboration in order to achieve success.

Communicating with Impact
Communication

As George Bernard Shaw famously said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” We spend our workday exchanging messages with our colleagues and customers through words that are spoken and written as well as through our behaviors, often without giving these a second thought. However, communication is a complex process that is essential to the success of individuals, teams, and organizations. The ability to communicate in a way that is effective, concise, and appropriate is crucial at all levels of an organization, and thus it is a critical skill to examine and develop. Communicating with Impact combines the theoretical with the practical to present communication as an essential business tool that builds relationships, increases productivity, and underpins results when done effectively.
