| We see this every day at work -- yet we often don't want to face the fact: Fundamentally, people are not rational. They are emotional. And most people struggle with this domain:
Team members sit in a meeting nodding their heads about a new strategy -- then go into the hall and vehemently oppose the new initative swearing it will never fly.
A company hires top talent from a competitor to get fresh insight -- then when the new experts offer innovation, they're rejected with, "that's not how we do things here."
Even though a supervisor has repeatedly shown he's not going to change his ugly behavior with subordinates, the director takes six months to fire him because he doesn't want "things to get ugly."
Why's it so hard? Most leaders are in their roles because they're technically skilled and have a good business sense. They are promoted based on one set of skills -- into jobs that require something else.
The good news: Emotional intelligence can be developed. Our research and experience prove it. And if you work with Six Seconds, you'll experience it for yourself.
When leaders are able to tap the power of their own and team members' feelings, they excel. When the context, or climate, is right, people are amazing - innovative, courageous, brilliant and joyful. So many leaders say "people are our #1 asset," Six Seconds will help you make it really true.
