Overview

This highly interactive workshop aims to equip leaders and potential leaders with the two most important skills of the modern era- Emotional Intelligence and Innovation. 

In the peer-reviewed journal article Examining the Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Workplace Performance, Swinburne researchers Danielle DeGuara and Con Stough state that:

‘Emotional recognition and expression (in oneself), emotional management and understanding emotions (of others) were positively related to the ability to be innovative and creative in the workplace.’

The report also states: ‘The Innovator Role is an important component of performance since it is argued that for organisations to remain competitive in complex and changing environments, characteristic of today’s environment, they must have employees who are creative on behalf of the organisation (Schein,1980)’

When exploring the role of EI in creativity in the book Emotional Intelligence in Everyday Life: A scientific inquiry, by Ciarrochi, J., Forgas, J. & Mayer, J. (2001), the authors state:

‘Positive moods are believed to facilitate creative idea generation, whereas negative moods focus attention and facilitate analytic processing (such as reviewing a financial spreadsheet). Generating an emotion to solve a problem, energise a group, or calm yourself prior to a big meeting or interview is a skill that can be learnt.’
