Leadership Profits!
Exceptional leadership can double profits, according to research from Georgetown Univ economics dept. Exceptional leaders eliminate barriers, provide meaningful feedback, inspire confidence, share information, and welcome new ideas. You can read more about the research here.
The leader behaviors listed above, as well as many others are consistent with the emotional & social intelligence (ESI) competencies. Other emotionally intelligent leader behaviors include:
-
assuaging anger
-
listening empathically to employee needs and requests
-
asking for employee input into important decisions
-
modeling authenticity, rather than the illusion of perfection
-
fostering alignment and commitment
-
asking for help
-
admitting mistakes
You can find a comprehensive listing of ESI behaviors here – The Emotional Competence Framework. Take a look through and ask yourself:
-
What item(s) here do I already have skill or competency in?
-
What two or three behaviors here do I want or need to develop at this time?
-
What is one thing I can do differently, do more of, or do less of towards that development?
