Are you leading at every level?
If you’re not, you should be. Leading at Every Level is a program designed to build leadership skills at every level in your organization. The program was created for legal aid organizations, but is just as relevant for bar associations and law firms.
Great leaders understand the value of “soft skills.” They know that leadership encompasses far more than mere technical or administrative expertise. Research conducted by the Stanford Research Institute International and Carnegie Mellon Foundation with Fortune 500 CEOs from around the world found that 75 percent of long-term success in business depends upon people skills.
Moreover, academic research has shown that people with high emotional intelligence are more successful in business and in life. In his book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, Daniel Goleman defines the term emotional intelligence as “the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships.”
The most effective leaders are those with high levels of emotional intelligence. Soft skills include communication skills, listening, coaching, giving feedback, team building, delegating, resolving conflict, and self-management. Leading at Every Level combines a live workshop and three one-hour webinars to help you put what you’ve learned to work for you, your colleagues and the community you serve.
