The Impact of Emotional Intelligence at Work

The world of work is changing, with an ever-greater need for improved leadership capability. The World Economic Forum predicts that 42% of current core skills will be outdated by 2022, and that, ‘Emotional Intelligence, leadership, and social influence will see an outsized increase in demand.’ Since its inception nearly 30 years ago, Emotional Intelligence (EI) has evolved and will become ever more established as a core attribute to meet the demands of a constantly changing workplace. The presentation will discuss why EI matters, how it relates to the current and future needs of organisations, what is the current status and value of EI for the assessment and development of people within the workplace, and how developable is EI for individuals and organisations seeking to create a positive organisational climate.
