The Kingsley Grant Show: Where Emotional Intelligence (EI/EQ) and Leadership Skills Intersect

There are many thoughts on how to increase productivity within your department. Everyone seems to have a hack, tip, or trick on how to get people to become more productive. 

It's understandable why there is so much content on this one topic. Productivity is necessary for success.

However, there is one thing above all else that gets people motivated and wanting to be more productive.

In this episode I share what that is.  

I also tell of a story of how I personally experienced this tip and what it did for me and my co-workers.

There are a number of ways to alienate your followers, but these five are part of the cardinal sins of leadership. When they are carried out the results can be devastating for everyone involved and invariably for the organization. It's a no-win situation.

In this episode I unpack how leaders tend to do this as well as shared one of most embarrassing stories of my life.  Here are the 5 Surefire Ways leaders can use to alienate their followers.

Many times leaders do not realize that their mood sets the stage for performance and that productivity is tied directly to the how they manage it. 

In this episode I talk about what happens when leaders show up to lead their teams with a "foul" attitude or mood. 

As a person from the rural area in Jamaica, I am used to seeing roaches scurrying to corners whenever the light disrupt the darkness. This is what team-members do when a leader shows up in a "foul" mood.

In my new to be released book: The Emotelligent Leader - Succeed Where Others Failed, I discuss how leaders can manage their emotions and those of the team members to get better results.

How is that some leaders would earn the title of being influential but the outcomes of their leadership is one to be desired whereas the other leader, is everything one would want to emulate?

In this episode I discuss the tales of two leaders: Martin Luther King Jr. and Jim Jones. The two leaders would be considered influential in their own ways, yet the outcome from their leadership, even though having profound impact in different ways, are outcomes that are looked upon in different ways.

What is it about them? 

That's what you'll discover as you listen to this episode.

Why do Sororities and Fraternities have their members sign pledges? Why do they have standardize pledges?  

Having not much knowledge of either, I'm going to guess that it's to make things uniform and make sure everyone abide by the same principles. If you know otherwise, I'm open to learn.

If my assumption is correct and even if it's not, why is it that there is not a standardized "pledge" that leaders sign prior to becoming "members" of the leadership league?

My mission of this and other episodes, is to disrupt leadership as we know it.

That is one of the reasons I've wrote my soon to be released new book: The Emotelligent Leader - Succeed Where Others Failed. In this book, I discuss a number of these issues and at the end of the book, I recommend that leaders take a pledge to enter the league of Elite Leadership.

In this episode, I go through all ten of them in a summarized way.

Let me know your thoughts of agreement or disagreement and if you think I should have included another pledge.

Ask almost every leader whether or not they are qualified to lead and the answer will be "of course!" It will almost always be in a defensive manner. I get it why they would almost feel offended if asked.

But what about quantified?

This would immediately have them think, like you might be thinking, that there was a mistake made in using the word quantified, thinking it should be qualified.

In this episode I made the case for quantified leadership rather than qualified leadership.

I reference my soon to be released book: The Emotelligent Leader - Succeed Where Others Failed because I discuss a whole lot more there.

Practicing leadership in the 21st Century using 20th Century approaches is doomed to fail. Is it any wonder many leaders are failing at leading the people they were entrusted to lead or that those people, even very talented ones, are jumping ship?

In this episode I share why this happens and what needs to change. 

Most of what I share are ideas, concepts, and principles found in my soon to be released new book entitled: The Emotelligent Leader - Succeed Where Others Failed.

Remember, this show covers the skills of leadership and emotional intelligence. It is the Hybrid of leadership.

There is leadership and there is LEADERSHIP. The latter is made up of people who understands what it takes to lead people to make better decisions, have better relationships, and to become top performers. This episode introduces to the paradigm that makes it all possible. It is called Emotelligence: The Art of Succeeding Where Others Failed. 

The word Emotelligence is formed from two words, Emotion and Intelligence. It is the hybrid of the skills found in Emotional Intelligence and Leadership.

In this episode you will hear the host, Kingsley Grant, laying out the case why this paradigm is the differentiator in the area of Leadership and Emotional Intelligence.
