Do Barack Obabma or John McCain Have High Leadership Emotional Intelligence? Do You?
The next president of the United States will be challenged with providing effective leadership through unparalleled financial, economic, and social crisis in the United States and in the World.
As we in the U.S. choose a new president, we should all be considering how the candidates’ Leadership EQ – emotional quotient – stack up. In essence leadership is the ability to influence positive outcomes through others. Research has proven that effective leadership is dependent on emotional skills that enable one to more effectively manage oneself and positively influence others.
This podcast explores the elements of leadership emotional intelligence and prepares you to take an assessment of Obama, McCain and You.
Take The Assessment
We have created a six-questions assessment of Leadership Emotional Intelligence based on our EQ At Work Authentic Leadership Model. See how the candidates stack up in your view. Then rate yourself and consider how the skills are important to you. All listeners, whether US voters or not, are encouraged to take the assessment. Your views are important to us and you will be able to see results online.

Many of my clients describe a workplace environment that is fast-paced and high demand. Rapid change, limited resources and deadlines result in having too much to do and not enough time to do it in. People respond by working extra long hours and even taking work home. Some have told me that during meetings they sneak some work in while trying to look like they are participating. They skip lunch or eat while working and don’t take time for exercise, breaks or reflection time.
