There is a great book out on leadership. Certainly there are enough leadership books to go around the world several times; but the book, Landing in the Executive Chair, by Linda Henman, relates to F squared, or F2 Leadership. Dr. Henman refers to the F as meaning both Fair and Firm. Accountability!
Henman says, “I have found the direct ties between self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, social skill… and business results.” This is how Emotional Intelligence, or EQ, is defined.
Employee Engagement and Emotional Intelligence are about balancing results with relationships. As Henman points out, the further up the ladder you travel, the greater the need for understanding both yourself and others.
EQ can be measured and improved! We have Emotional Intelligence Assessments. For more information call 1-800-452-4036

There are many facets of management. A good manager must also possess a strong leadership base.
The Four Stages of Leadership:
1. Functional Competence
2. Applicability
3. Positive influence of others
4. Emotional Intelligence
In order to progress through successful careers, managers –becoming- leaders must master and live these four stages of leadership. To skip any of the four stages or to forget the lessons learned there can cause a career to stall or derail.
In later posts we will look at these four success habits in more depth.
