At the heart of all outstanding businesses is a culture that promotes productivity and quality by honoring people and creating trusting relationships at all levels of the company.  Without leaders who can forge the right climate, organizations are limited and distracted by events and symptoms that dampen morale and discourage the attainment of business goals. 

 

Emotional intelligence is the essential building block in the leaders' ability to establish the right climate for businesses to succeed. Leaders at all levels of the organization, from front line supervisor to CEO, must demonstrate a high degree of emotional intelligence in their leadership roles.  A Different Kind of Smart™ demonstrates the direct link between emotional intelligence and leadership performance and gives leaders specific ways to improve their performance.
