Discover why emotional intelligence might be the missing puzzle piece in your leadership strategy.
Nada Nasserdeen, founder and CEO of Rise Up For You, unpacks the critical balance between compassion and maintaining high standards in today's workplace.
She reveals the startling truth that 80% of business success depends not on technical prowess but on emotional intelligence, despite the fact that most companies continue investing primarily in technical training. She challenges the quick-fix mindset pervading leadership development, explaining why one-day retreats simply don't create lasting change.
We explore the business impact of emotional intelligence--reduced turnover, increased engagement, higher sales performance, and solving costly people problems before they escalate. Nada shares practical insights on creating transparent company cultures where values are living principles guiding every aspect, from hiring to performance reviews.
Perhaps most eye-opening is Gallup's consistent finding that 76% of North American workers remain disengaged while collecting paychecks. They are essentially being paid to underperform. This hidden productivity drain represents an enormous opportunity for companies willing to invest in meaningful emotional intelligence development.
Whether you're struggling with high turnover, disengaged team members, or leadership effectiveness, this episode provides actionable strategies to transform your organization's approach to people development.
Nada Nasserdeen is a speaker and the Founder and CEO of Rise Up For You, a global leader in soft skills and leadership development and author of Rise Up For You and Emotional Intelligence: The Path to Fulfillment, Influence, and Lasting Success. Her third book, Self-Confidence: How to Overcome the I’m Not Enough Mindset, is due out soon.
