We all want to work in a healthy work environment. Emotionaly intelligent leaders create a positive work climate. EQ leaders model specific behaviors that fully engage their people.
It’s easier to get your people to do the things you want done when they are motivated to do them.Your leadership directly affects the way people feel about working for you. You create a ‘climate’. This climate affects the amount of effort the people in your organization contribute. And the more they contribute, the more successful your organization will be.
The Hay Group's research shows that leadership accounts for an average of 70% of the variance in climate. A positive climate will increase important bottom line performance measures by up to 30%. So the more you improve their environment, the higher the performance of your team will be. What do you do that affects performance? How can you create the best climate for your team?
