This entire DeepLEADTM Growth Series has been focused on the person of the leader themself, since everything rises and falls on them. While we would’ve immediately loved to dive deeper into Emotional Intelligence right after the lesson on Self-Awareness (Module 3), we reserved it for the end of Growth modules to be a bridge between the final lesson on the Person of the leader and the first in the next course which places the spotlight on the People being led. So far, the leader hasn’t even interfaced with another human yet so Emotional Intelligence is a great bridge to the Success Series. Even here, we shall restrict ourselves to the first half of Emotional Intelligence—about the leader’s emotional awareness and self-management—while the other half about the Led’s emotions and managing that will be reserved for the next course. In Executive Leadership, IQ gets you in the door but it is EQ that really gives you what it takes to play the game!
In this module 8 (of 8) of the DeepLEAD Growth Series, Emotional Intelligence 1, you will:
- Offered a timely general reminder of the prime place of self-awareness in leadership,
- Lay a comprehensive foundation of Emotional Intelligence—from definitions through what it’s not to why it’s vital,
- Be left with a deep impression about the non-negotiable place of Emotional Intelligence in leadership,
- Dive deep into the ‘self’ aspect of Emotional Intelligence (‘others’ portion is reserved for the next course in the series) and
- Be provided with a buffet of practical exercises to steadily grow in Emotional Intelligence over time.
Who this course is for?
LeaderVarsity is aimed at both youth/learners as an emerging workforce and established leaders, especially teachers and executives who shape the world of learning and beyond but who may inadvertently have gaps in their own leadership formation. From the foregoing, it is evident that Leadervarsity “promote[s] lifelong learning opportunities for all”, the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Again, if by 2030 Africa would have “substantially increase[d] the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills… for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship,” according to SDG 4.4, then an edtech intervention like LeaderVarsity at scale is a sine qua non. The tech-enabled and tech-based nature of LeaderVarsity provides the kind of access (anyone anywhere) that makes SDG 4 vision of inclusivity and equitability of quality education happen. The goal of LeaderVarsity is the fulfilment of SDGs 4 (education), 8 (decent work and economic growth) and 17 (partnerships).
