Session 6: 12.30 pm Emotionally Intelligent Leaders Great leaders are made, not born!Leadership is a requirement to any successful business because the nature of good leadership is that it provides important direction to an organization. The absence of leadership is dramatic in its effects. Without leadership, organizations move too slowly, stagnate, and lose their way.But the one thing that Leaders need in order to be Leaders is: Followers. Forcing people to be your followers will never work, but there are things that you can learn, practice, and do that will make people willing to follow you.
Leadership will make these things possible! Workshop facilitator Dr. Suhail Jouaneh |
