IQ, EQ, SQ… Jack-of-all-trades

You lead people. Quite an intense task! You have to stay sharp on the content while simultaneously managing all social-emotional processes that are at play. Both for yourself and the people you’re supervising. Whatever you call it: moral leadership, ethical leadership, people-centered leadership, or vital leadership, etc., according to us it all boils down to this:

A leader knows themselves and can read their own signals well and act accordingly. This provides the space to give genuine attention to your employees, allowing you to cater to their needs in effectively completing their task. 

Put differently: a good leader has both a highly-developed IQ, as well as highly-developed social and emotional intelligence.. 

Sounds logical, right? Yes. But in practice, it’s not that simple! 

That’s why we are happy to help you develop your leadership skills further.

Do you recognize that you ...

  ​often fall asleep later than you mean to, because you are still very wired?

​wake up with a jolt, breathing rapidly and mind going through mental to-do lists on repeat?

fail to meet deadlines because you are often distracted by other tasks or lose your focus?

​​experience recurring pressure on your chest or shoulders?

​​clench your jaws or hold tension in your shoulders or neck?

 run out of social battery after work, making your personal relationships strained?

 wonder how much longer you can keep this up?

 frequently give yourself pep talks: “Ah well, things will be different soon.” “After this deadline…” “Once we’ve rolled this out, then…”

Stop waiting for things to quiet down but take some time to reflect. That way, you can start creating your own peace and flow.
