The Emotionally Intelligent Leader : Exploring Emotional and Social Competence in Leaders

Catalog description

The concept of Leadership has been examined and dissected since ancient times, in search of a replicable process which could be somehow infused to create great leaders. From classic theories to situational explorations, the power to lead can create a better town, a more successful company, a more equitable world. In the 1990's a new voice joined the chorus of Leadership influence as Daniel Goleman spoke to the ideas of emotional intelligence- the ability to identify, assess and control emotions. This course will explore the writings, papers and presentations of Daniel Goleman in a blended format, inviting students to assess their own strategies as colleagues and leaders have a better understanding of the human side of leadership.
