Leadership Intelligences

The modern workplace is constantly changing and faced with frequent disruption. Change and disruption are uncomfortable for most people, and even elicit fear in some. This is why today’s leader must be proficient in the dynamics of human behavior — shifting from traditional approaches to leadership to a new paradigm leadership model. The four leadership intelligences — social, emotional, cultural, and dignity intelligences — are foundational attributes of these new leaders. With proficiency in these four areas, leaders will more successfully meet the needs of the whole human and create a workplace environment where all people thrive. We know that when people thrive, organizations thrive.

Dr. Robyn Short, founder and CEO of Workplace Peace Institute, will share evidence-based strategies for why these four leadership intelligences cultivate a workplace culture where all people are engaged and experience their inherent worth and value as contributors.

Participants will learn:

●  The core framework and behaviors associated with each leadership intelligence

●  Dynamics of human behavior, including a fun dive into neuroscience.

●  Strategies and tactics for activating the leadership intelligence into workplace culture

●  Experience engaging dialogue and opportunities for networking with professionals across the United States who share an interest in creating a workplace culture of peace and dignity

Join this live, online leadership training session to learn the four leadership intelligences essential to creating peace in the workplace.
