Head and Heart Leadership: Unlocking Your Potential
Calvin Guyer, MS, CFP, CPC
The fast paced and ever changing role of the laboratory leader calls for a highly engaged individual that not only has a high degree of emotional intelligence (EQ) but calls for a leader that can also teach others to strengthen their EQ. In this dynamic session we will draw a direct link between EQ and performance of the individual, work group, and organization. We will present and demonstrate an approach to developing a higher EQ called Energy Leadership. Every participant will leave the workshop with an Action Development Plan to strengthen their personal EQ around areas they select. Building on this concept of EQ, we will link an increase in EQ to dynamic succession planning within the laboratory. The participant will begin the process of developing the "how" (using a highly regarded Leadership Competency Framework) to the "what" (outlined in the Body of Knowledge).
