Developing Emotional Intelligence with Debbie Muno, Genos North America.

Emotional Intelligence impacts workplace performance, leadership effectiveness, retention, engagement, sales, customer service, resilience, and teamwork - all outcomes that organizations are continually striving to hire for and develop.

It is a measurement of our ability to recognize, respond to, and cope with emotions. While traditional corporate training programs tend to focus on hard skills, teaching employees emotional intelligence is equally important.

A recent report on the subject, published by the Capgemini Research Institute suggested that “it wasn’t only teams and individuals who benefit from developing a greater capacity for emotional intelligence. Research conducted for the report found that, on average, 60% of the surveyed organizations realized significant benefits by having employees who display high EI.”

Bill's guest today is Debbie Muno, Managing Director at Genos North America.
