Managerial Effectiveness through enhanced emotional quotient- course by Dr. Payal Kumar
Course overview video
In this hyper-competitive age, enhancing soft skills of employees is often a key differentiator when it comes to a more nimble and resilient workforce. For Human Resource executives that follow the 70:20:10 learning framework of 70 per cent on-the-job learning, 20 per cent through collaboration and peer learning, and 10 per cent through formal learning interventions, this bouquet of courses has been carefully crafted for their requirements.
These courses are open to anyone who wishes to learn and move ahead on the corporate ladder, irrespective of experience or industry. Therefore, there are no formal pre-requisites required, except for a desire to expand one’s skills and knowledge, and unbounded curiosity. Classes will be live and completely interactive, with lectures, class discussions and tutorials similar to a traditional class.
Intelligence is defined in more broad terms these days, beyond a simple IQ test. More and more research points to enhanced emotional quotient (EQ) being a key factor to an individual’s success and well-being at the workplace. There is a strong business case for increasing your own EQ and that of your team members too, as high EQ leads to heightened self-awareness and also a better understanding of the people who you work with, which is a key to healthy relationships, conflict resolution and better performance at the workplace.
