Why Every Leader Should Coach Others: Coaching with Compassion as a Path to Leadership Development and Psycho-Physiological Personal Renewal
April 2: 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., 410 Nord Hall
Presenter: Dr. Richard Boyatzis, Weatherhead School of Management Department of Organizational Behavior
Great leaders move us to greatness and inspire us to be at our best and move beyond it. Although they talk of strategy and competition, the great leaders establish a deep emotional connection with others called resonance. They are literally in tune with others around them. Their own levels of emotional intelligence allow them to create and nurture these resonant relationships. They use their EI as a path to resonant leadership through mindfulness, hope, and compassion. But these are also the experiences essential to renewal of the human organism at the neurological, hormonal, emotional, and behavioral levels. Based on decades of research into emotional intelligence competencies and longitudinal studies in their development, Professor Richard Boyatzis will lead the audience through examples of how coaching with compassion is key to leadership development and why it is central to neuro-endocrine renewal in the human body (which is the only antidote to the ravages of chronic stress).
