All organizations face the temptation to operate in silos rather than as one unified system. The most successful companies we work with recognize the power of an Enterprise Mindset and work to cultivate it in their leaders and culture. Leaders with an Enterprise Mindset filter everything through the lens of OUR goals, acting first as a champion of the total enterprise and then as a champion of their business unit and team.

Introducing the next Leadership Gamechanger in our 2019 series! This month, we’re focused on TEAMING. In the not-too-distant past, “team” typically meant a group of direct reports and their leader. As our world becomes more VUCA and our organizations respond by working in more matrixed, dynamic, and agile ways, the meaning of “team” has evolved. The new realities of teaming call for different skills and mindsets, and that’s what we’re committed to helping you develop this month, starting with this vlog from Candyce Penteado!

In our “go-go-go” culture, where multi-tasking is revered as the ultimate in productivity, it’s no surprise that our attention is spread thin. It’s also no surprise that, as an antidote to our harried work lives, the concept of mindfulness has recently found its way out of the yoga studios and ashrams and into the board room. We asked our Executive Coaches to provide their best advice for putting the topic of mindfulness into practice, in service of stronger focus and attention.

This month at The People Side, we are exploring Emotional Intelligence. One of the key elements of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is Empathy, which, put simply, means appreciating how other people feel. We asked our Executive Coaches to provide their best advice for putting Empathy into practice.

Giving feedback can be emotional. It is one of many situations where demonstrating emotional intelligence is critical. In her new vlog, Claire Williams provides 7 Tips for delivering more emotionally intelligent feedback.

Many leaders who take the EQi-2.0 assessment initially believe that the higher their score in a particular emotional intelligence competency, the more effective they must be in that area. However, we’ve all heard the phrase “too much of a good thing”; like many things in life, EQ in excess can actually do harm. Read on to find out what EQ on overdrive looks like.

In our Leadership Gamechangers series, this month we’re focused on Emotional Intelligence (EQ) as a key leadership capability. While there’s much more to EQ than Self-Awareness, understanding ourselves is the critical pre-requisite for effectively managing ourselves, our interactions, and our performance. Keep reading for our best advice on cultivating Self-Awareness.
