Key Takeaways:
Power and influence are usually exerted within a group context or the wider organisation. The general assumption is that power and influence are dependent on the position in the organisational hierarchy. Sometimes, seniority and power do go hand in hand, but in most cases, power can be found elsewhere in the organisation and, at times in the most unexpected places. It is often evident to recognise when power is exercised particularly when you are at the receiving end. Power can sometimes put people in a manic state which may eventually lead to rash, rude, and unethical actions.

The aim of this course is to introduce specific models to demonstrate how power and influence can be used positively to optimise organisational performance.

Working with others requires the capacity to recognise and shape how our emotions can impact on both personal and working relationship.
The ability to develop a well-balanced array of specific emotional intelligence capabilities also known as Emotional Quotient (EQ) is one of the outstanding strengths of effective leaders because of the direct link between business success and performance. Although this programme may be considered as relevant to secular organisations, the nature of leadership role in faith organisations involves human dynamics. The emphasis on theology alone may not be sufficient for leaders to be self-aware or to develop a profound sense of human emotions which they are most likely to encounter as part of their job. EI has s a real value for churches as it embodies what the faith stands for and can impact both the spiritual and intellectual aspects of our lives. The aim of this course is to enable participants to improve their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, adapt and respond positively to their work environment.

The course will specifically examine the core EQ skills namely, self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and (social skills) relationship management.
