Understanding Integrated Leadership

Do you feel like you are one person at work and another outside of work? Would you like to change that?

In this audio title, Andy Hede shows you how you can become an integrated leader, one who leads with emotion and maturity. Experience improved leadership effectiveness and greater self-fulfilment.

Andy talks about:

• why emotion is vital for effective leadership and management
• the nature of emotion (how and why we react as we do)
• the concept of 'emotional intelligence' and why it is important for leaders
• common emotional triggers in the workplace
• how to manage your emotional reactions, and those of others, in the workplace
• the eight emotional characteristics that are essential for integrated leadership
• the READE technique, a simple way to manage your emotional reactions.

Integrated leaders are those who are able to incorporate their emotional life into their professional life. They are more effective because they can draw on a full range of balanced competencies: intellectual, behavioural, social and emotional. And yet, it is the latter, emotional competency, that is often forgotten or neglected by leaders and is undervalued by organisations.

The concept of 'emotional intelligence', which is often nominated as a predictor of managerial success, is explored. The eight emotional characteristics that are essential for integrated leadership are also explained. This includes how to recognise and deal with the 'shadow' part of the psyche in order to be a more effective leader.

Integrated leadership can be acquired by any leader who is willing to work on their emotional and inner life. The benefits include improved leadership effectiveness and greater self-fulfilment.
