About
Given the rate of change in business environment and the resulting transitions taking place in the workplace, staff at levels in the organization must be aware of their emotions in their reflecting thinking, opinion setting, conflict resolution and decision making processes.
If staff are not able to manage and control their emotions in a fast paced environment, harsh and uninformed decisions can be made which can impede an organisation’s success but also diminish the unproductive relationship between employees enabling toxic workplace cultures.
Without a doubt, emotional intelligence training pivots staff to tolerant frustrations, maintain their well-being and control their emotions in the interaction, feedback and decision making processes involving others toward business outcomes.
