EMOTIONAL THERMOSTAT

Your mood and temperament influence everyone on your team more

so than you imagine. A leader creates the environment that determines

people's moods at the office and their mood, in turn, affects their

productivity and level of engagement.

We know the further you go up in the organization the more

you use Emotional Intelligence to be successful rather than

your expertise and your Intelligence Quotient (IQ). Research

studies show that EI is the critical success factor anywhere

from 50% to 85% depending on the study.

what they are, you will continue to

undermine your success. Marshall

interviews you can establish what are

your blind spots and begin to shed light

on hem.

can help make you a “best boss.” People often

say their best boss empowered them, stretched

them, trusted them and they would do anything

for this person.

They found that organizations that measure EI, report 16% more positive revenue growth.
