Emotionally Intelligent Leadership

Today I want to share an article I wrote a couple of years ago about Emotionally Intelligent Leadership. Read the brief introduction below and then download the full PDF article.

All leadership works through emotions. All undisputed leaders have earned their reputation because their leadership was emotionally compelling to a large or small group of followers.

Leadership in corporations goes beyond reaching a goal and ensuring that a job is well done. Nothing is more important for the leaders and managers of organisations than to have leadership skills, the social and emotional competencies required to manage their own and other people’s emotions, to drive the organisation’s collective emotions in a positive direction, and to avoid or control dangerous emotions.

Studies have shown that a leader’s ability to manage own moods and to influence the moods of others usually has a dramatic impact on business results. Since leaders have such an important role in bringing out the best in people, and since this has direct implications on the bottom-line results of the organisation, it pays for corporations to invest in emotionally intelligent leadership at all levels of the organisation.

Jack and Suzy Welch (finally!) Have Their Own Web Site

Last week, the long awaited Jack and Suzy Welch web site was unveiled, following on from the great successes of their podcasts, columns and videos created in conjunction with BusinessWeek.

As the former CEO of GE and a former editor of Harvard Business Review respectively, their credentials are definitely impressive and the site allows you to look for insights into various topics facing managers and leaders in both small and large businesses.

Before delving too far into the treasure trove I would recommend that you spend a couple of minutes reading about their underlying principles.

Head on over to the Welch Way and prepare to be inspired.

Claus Moller takes on the World Wide Web

Today, I wake up with a difference.

Through the launch of this blog, I will extend the global reach of Claus Moller.

My intention is simple. To better capture my learnings, ideas, insights and new concepts and share them with as many people as I can around the world.

I can do this virtually through the Web, in blogs, wiki's, video's, and of course, my website. I can do this physically through my keynote presentations, seminars, workshops and consulting activities.

Tomorrow, I start an international 6 day Practical Leadership Programme, here in my Learning Village, Les 4 Moulins, in Cotignac, Provence, South of France.

I look forward to gradually unfolding my management concepts and sharing with you my knowledge and experiences through the World Wide Web. I hope for your comments and feedback and sharing your ideas and insights.

I look forward to making new friends around the world, and even the prospect of meeting and working together.
