Organizations of all sizes are increasingly recognizing the key role that 'Emotional Intelligence' (EQ)
has in the effectiveness of the organization at all levels. Managers and team leaders are required to
fulfill a much broader remit - not just to have technical or specialist expertise, but also to have a range
of personal attributes and abilities; team members need to be able to cooperate and to work
effectively with their colleagues and managers; and front-line staff need to be able to deal
professionally with difficult/stressful situations with customers and suppliers. This course will equip
delegates with the skills and knowledge for the practical application of Emotional Intelligence in the
workplace. It will help delegates to understand themselves and others better, and will give an insight

Managers are often required to combine their management and supervision role with demanding
operational responsibilities. And yet, ask anyone with a manager, and they’ll probably tell you that
effective supervision and management can often make the difference between mutually
beneficial/productive involvement, and an experience that is less than satisfactory for both parties.
This packed and practical 2-day course will enable delegates to develop the necessary skills and
