Leading with rational and emotional intelligence

Training self-awareness, strengthening empathy, motivating leadership

This training is held in German.

Especially in times of change, this quality of leadership becomes increasingly important. Leading with feeling and understanding can be learned! In this training , you will create the basis for this by training consistent self-awareness and self-regulation as well as strengthening your empathy and social skills. You will use effective leadership tools to combine rational and emotional aspects of your leadership.
