EMOTIONAL CAPITAL : HOW EQ DRIVES LEADERSHIP

What is Emotional Capital? 

Emotional Capital is the energy, enthusiasm and commitment in the hearts of everyone connected with your business. It is a vital ingredient for success in business today. 

Extraordinary leaders, who we like to call emotional capitalists, recognise that success requires focusing on more than just the traditional assets of a business, such as physical capital (bricks and mortar) and intellectual capital (patents, trademarks, and business processes). They add a new ingredient to the mix ... and achieve success by building emotional capital. 

1. Effective leadership in the workplace is the by-product of emotions (such as self-confidence, optimism, self-reliance, and enthusiasm)
2. Emotions are valuable because they create strong relationships between organisations and their customers and employees. 
3. Emotions and their associated behaviours can be developed and used intelligently. Unlike IQ, it's not just what you're born with!
4. Building Emotional Capital as a HR strategy adds real value to the balance sheet 

Emotional Capital is RocheMartin's own unique model of emotional intelligence. It represents a break-through in understanding and applying emotional intelligence for leadership success.
