Building resilient leadership: Emotional intelligence in organizations

About

The present social and economic context has impacted the functioning and adaptability of working professionals. The cases of mental disorders, suicides, break-ups, divorces, anxiety, fears, sleeplessness are raising questions about the psychological well-being of working executives and their ability to cope with work or non-work-related stress. Future-ready organizations need to employ a workforce with rich psychological resources in the form of hope, self-efficacy, optimism, resilience, spirituality, adaptability, and ability to manage stress positively. Such competencies are not only essential at the workplace but also at home.

Psychological and management literature shows the relevance of the concept of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in the process of coping with the environmental demands and pressure. The proponents of EI say that the ability to handle stresses of modern workplace may be more important than intellectual competency of employees. Therefore, this course is designed to help the students to become emotionally intelligent leaders to drive the process of personal and organizational transformation which cannot be possible with the management of emotional and living life with equanimity.
