Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
Quest is adapting pieces of the research regarding emotionally intelligent leadership such as Consciousness of Self, Consciousness of Others and Consciousness of Context.
Consciousness
of Self
Emotion regulation, Cognitive flexibility, Optimism, Initiative, Achievement, and more!
Consciousness
of Others
Empathy, Inspiring others, Building relationships, Managing conflict, and more!
Consciousness
of Context
Interpreting group & external forces and more!
Since Quest already provides training in the large majority of these areas through Quest’s Therapeutic Model, the Leadership Academy will continue to round out growth edges for our leaders in these areas and then more specifically apply these areas to the context of leadership and further hone individualized strengths.
