1. MOVING TOWARD AN EXECUTIVE ROLE
Aspiring to executive roles means being able to navigate complexity with confidence and demonstrate broad-based leadership grounded in executive presence and emotional intelligence. Executive presence is reflected in fifteen behaviors and qualities that help strengthen one’s leadership stance, while emotional intelligence harnesses human dynamics to drive collective performance.
2. EI AT THE HEART OF LEADERSHIP
Today, being a leader means operating in constantly changing environments where decisions are based as much on analysis as on an understanding of human dynamics. Developing emotional intelligence is essential for strengthening one’s leadership presence and rallying the organization and teams behind change.
3. SUPPORTING A LEADER IN DIFFICULTY
Interpersonal tensions or a toxic work environment can affect a leader’s empathy and judgment. Taking a step back and developing emotional intelligence helps foster more effective, respectful, and inspiring leadership, and enables leaders to better manage sensitive situations, such as conflicts or harassment complaints.
4. REGAIN CONFIDENCE AFTER A LEAVE OF ABSENCE
After taking time off for mental health reasons, the fear of judgment can make returning to work more difficult. However, it is possible to resume and continue your career after such a challenging experience. Tailored external support—combining an understanding of your experience with leadership expertise—facilitates your return, ensures a smooth transition, and helps maintain a healthy work-life balance over the long term. Asking for support is also an act of leadership.
