Connective Leadership Workshop

The key to an agile organisation

We live in a time of continuous change. Interesting, complex and exciting. It is adapt or perish… Agility is a must to change quickly and well. Hierarchical and directive leadership is old school. Connective leadership is not a hype but here to stay. As a leader you must be able to empower your employees and teams. That makes a strong appeal to well developed emotional intelligence, which is about a connection between reason and emotion. Integrity, empathy, assertiveness, (in)dependence, reality testing and optimism are important key words.

We believe that quality starts with yourself, so you can operate from there. How agile and connective are you?
The ‘Connective leadership’ learning programme takes you further.

Workshop based on EQ-i®: ‘Assess, predict, perform’

The development of emotional intelligence (EI) is of decisive importance for our personal effectiveness, in dealing with yourself, with others and in flexibility. And it can be measured!

The validated EQ-i® 2.0 is regarded worldwide as the most reliable test for measuring emotional intelligence. The test is scientifically researched and applicable to:

• Personal effectiveness
• Leadership and management
• Team building
• Selection and talent management
• Commercial power

Emotional intelligence leads to more vitality, entrepreneurship and higher performance.
The foundation of this workshop lies in developing emotional intelligence by learning actively and from one another. We discuss the desired leadership profile based on the group profile of Dr. Reuven Bar-On®. Sustainable development and a connection to daily practice have our full attention. That is why the wider environment (including colleagues) is involved.
