‘It’s not about measuring ourselves with a linear timeframe of age it’s the challenge of measuring ourselves against the impact we are having on the world, the way in which we are moving forward and the energy we bring’ 

Gavin is in conversation with Kul Mahay who is a specialist leadership coach. They explore the role of the leader and the social and emotional intelligence that can transform the ways in which we inspire, motivate and collaborate with others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
The greatest mistake we make as leaders is that we are driven by KPIs, performance and data. 
When we bring social and emotional intelligence to our roles we are able to transform the ways in which we motivate, collaborate and interact with others. 
Having been a senior leader for an extended period of time I understand and can empathise with leaders. 
To be an effective leader you have to become an effective leader of yourself understanding your own emotional intelligence. 
Once you master the art of inner leadership you master leadership. 
There are  4 quadrants of emotional intelligence; self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management within these, there are a further 24 competencies. 
Anyone can develop their emotional intelligence but you do have to be prepared to work on it. 
It's only when we understand where we are now that we can identify the areas we need to improve on. 
Completing an emotional intelligence assessment can give you a basis from which you can then move forward. 
The culture of the organisation can be equated to the personality of the organisation. 
What is the impact your company has on your customers, what do they say about you? 
We want to be in a place where we are developing ‘raving fans’ but to do this we need to have a full and proper relationship with everyone we come into contact with. 
When you begin a business you are very task orientated, when you are a leader with a team of staff you need to be able to take a ‘helicopter’ overview. This will enable you to see what is happening including the outward ripple effect. 
The strategic view is very important and it requires discipline to ensure you regularly review and adjust your strategic plans for success. 
The world is constantly changing, it is currently changing at a rate that is faster than we have ever known and it's your ability to adapt that is key in this world. 

 

  

BEST MOMENTS 

‘The truth is we are impacting on other people’s lives all the time’ 

‘Leadership can be lonely and leaders have to make decisions’ 

‘ It takes work to keep it at exceptional’ 

‘If we have become complacent in our lives then in business you will be falling behind your competitors’ 

You can nurture your emotional intelligence’
