Emotionally Intelligent Leadership

Psychology America with Dr. Alexandra

How do exceptional leaders use emotions to effectively lead and persuade?

Enjoy stories and new learning about these topics and more, including:
* The EQ characteristics of outstanding leaders
* Authenticity versus strategically bringing in emotion
* Emotional contagion
* Daydreaming in the workplace

My guests on this episode are Cary Cherniss and Cornelia Roche, authors of Leading with Feeling, Nine Strategies of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership (2020), a book based on their in depth study of 25 outstanding leaders.

Cary Cherniss, PhD was my dissertation chair at Rutgers, where he serves as Professor of Applied Psychology Emeritus. Cary spent much of his professional life studying Emotional Intelligence and he has published seven books, including Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace, and over 70 scholarly articles, many on this same topic. Dr. Cherniss is the Director of the Emotional Intelligence Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations.

Cornelia Roche, PsyD was a classmate of mine when I was in graduate school. She is an organizational psychologist and management coach serving various types of organizations, including corporate settings, schools, small businesses and non profits. Cornelia has served the Emotional Intelligence Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations since its inception.

We are also joined in this episode by attorney (and my husband) Neill W. Clark, who always enhances the conversation with his wisdom and curiosity.
