Video: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.
We start by reviewing the debate about the adaptive versus maladaptive qualities of emotion. We then explore the literature on intelligence, and especially social intelligence, to examine the place of emotion in traditional intelligence conceptions. A framework for integrating the research on emotion-related skills is then described. Next, we review the components of emotional intelligence. To conclude the review, the role of emotional intelligence in mental health is discussed and avenues for further investigation are suggested.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to manage both your own emotions and understand the emotions of people around you. There are five key elements to EI: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. When it comes to happiness and success in life, EQ matters just as much as IQ. Learn how you can boost your emotional intelligence, build stronger relationships, and achieve your goals.
Are you ready to be coached
Coaching can help you achieve higher performance and greater personal satisfaction at work. While you may be aware that you need to make changes — in behavior, mindset, or both — to advance your career, you won’t reap the benefits of coaching unless you’re prepared to fully engage in the process. This requires a substantial investment of time and effort, so before you move forward, the most important question you should ask yourself is, “Am I ready to be coached?”
Leading through influence not power
Influence is the ability to affect the behavior of others in a particular direction, leveraging key tactics that involve, connect, and inspire them. Influencing others is essential, but it’s more than just giving commands. Effective leaders don’t just command; they inspire, persuade, and encourage. Leaders tap the knowledge and skills of a group, point individuals toward a common goal and consensus, and draw out a commitment to achieve results.
Watch and Learn how can you lead through influence not power.

Ownership, leadership, succession, governance, talent management are some of the common challenges faced by any family business.
With the increase in the family members and complexities in the relationships, along with business demands, the process of professionalizing the family business is must to move to the next level.
Family forums, family council, family meetings and other governance structures are a great platform supporting the transition process.
