Course overview

When your employees lead a team, they get to know their team members’ personalities pretty well. And these personalities are often vastly different. On one end of the scale, they might have the quiet one, who prefers to be left to get on with things. And then there’s the polar opposite – the “life and soul of the party”, who’s charismatic but gets a little overexcited. Having diverse personalities is great for creativity, but sometimes, getting everyone to pull in the same direction is a complicated task and can cause friction.

In any business, getting team members to work together and resolving differences are vital parts of leadership. To do this, your employees need to navigate the personalities in their team and communicate successfully with them. This means using emotional intelligence, or “EQ”, to work out underlying emotions and understand how to nurture them.

This course was created to be used as practice for the skills the managers have learned in our course ‘Emotional & Cultural Intelligence’.
