Warren Bennis Leadership Guru:States that the "field of leadership studies should attend to how we develop leaders who understand relationships and communication, who can manage their themselves and others with wisdom, creativity and values."
EQ Answer: The intelligence or the IQ of an executive
leader explains less than 25% of the success that executive leaders
experience while running their organizations. The other 75% to 90% of
their success relies upon their Emotional Intelligence (EI or EQ). You see, every
corporate leader is sharp within his or her chosen field and have good technical expertise. But to move up the corporate ladder you need emotional intelligence as you are more directing, motivating, inspiring, and communicating. These are EI skills which can be learned where you IQ is fixed.
Emotional intelligence is the tipping pointwhere it helps leaders move into the the top 10% and the differentiator in the making of an executive
management Star Performer. Putting your time into your B player to be an A player is more effective than putting time into your C players. When you or your employees are in the top 10% you or them are twice productive to the bottom line.
What Is EI? In simple terms it is Understanding Yourself, Managing yourself, Understsanding others and Managing Others. The gap in the field is how do you raise EI?
Our goal at True North Leadership, Inc. is to provide you tools and programs to raise your EI.

Praise and the Brain: In organizations a 3:1 ratio of
positive to negative interaction has been proven to enhance performance,
improve engagement and retention. The release of dopamine is one reason
it is so powerful. (Fredrickson, Positivity) Dopamine is commonly
associated with the pleasure system of the brain, providing feelings of
enjoyment and reinforcement to motivate a person proactively to perform
certain activities. Dopamine is released (particularly in areas such as
the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex) by naturally rewarding
experiences such as food, sex, drugs, and neutral stimuli that become
associated with them. (Wikepedia) So you are giving them a naturally
lift or high. They will feel good and so will you.
3 Steps for Powerful Feedback:
It should be specific, point the behavior without
interpretations.
You should tell them why it is important- use why’s, becauses or
state the impacts of the behavior
t should be as immediate a possible
“I really appreciate you getting the report to me on
time.”
“I can see you worked really hard on this, gathered input from others,
checked with me before the final was done and it looks really
professional. This is a great example of quality of work we want from
you here. Thanks again.”
This will take less than 40 seconds to say and will carry huge benefits.
They will want to do a good job again and get more of the dopamine
release.
