Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Self-Deception

Over the past five years Diane Nettifee has worked extensively with Emotional Intelligence (EI) and the concepts from the work of the Arbinger Institute. Their material is published in two books; Leadership and Self Deception and The Anatomy of Peace.

In this session we will learn the core concepts from their work and explore the interplay and impact it has on developing emotional intelligence. When applying the Arbinger concepts to our mindset as leaders, many elements of emotional intelligence are challenged and provide invaluable opportunities for formation leadership that can create breakthrough results.
