Exercises for leaders, individuals, and teams to develop emotional and social intelligence

Invest in developing individuals' and teams' emotional and social intelligence and watch the benefits to your entire organization accrue. Your people will communicate, resolve conflict, manage stress, and make decisions better. As leaders learn to influence, inspire, and motivate themselves and others, the entire organization will reach new levels of achievement.

Written for leaders, teams, organizations, and other skilled professionals responsible for helping people achieve their best, Developing Emotional and Social Intelligence: Exercises for Leaders, Individuals, and Teams offers practical exercises you can use for building emotional and social intelligence in your clients and your organizations.

Built around the most widely-used assessments, the thirty-six experiential exercises help develop effective individual emotional intelligence skills relating to the five factors measured by the Emotional Intelligence Skills Assessment (EISA) and the seven team emotional and social competencies measured by the Team Emotional and Social Intelligence Survey® (TESI®). Other popular assessments are discussed as well. Many of the exercises can be easily modified to meet a wide range of developmental needs.
