(CLP) Programs
Appleton Greene corporate training programs are all process-driven. They are used as vehicles to implement tangible business processes within clients’ organizations, together with training, support and facilitation during the use of these processes. Corporate training programs are therefore implemented over a sustainable period of time, that is to say, between 1 year (incorporating 12 monthly workshops), and 4 years (incorporating 48 monthly workshops). Your program information guide will specify how long each program takes to complete. Each monthly workshop takes 6 hours to implement and can be undertaken either on the client’s premises, an Appleton Greene serviced office, or online via the internet. This enables clients to implement each part of their business process, before moving onto the next stage of the program and enables employees to plan their study time around their current work commitments. The result is far greater program benefit, over a more sustainable period of time and a significantly improved return on investment.
Appleton Greene uses standard and bespoke corporate training programs as vessels to transfer business process improvement knowledge into the heart of our clients’ organizations. Each individual program focuses upon the implementation of a specific business process, which enables clients to easily quantify their return on investment. There are hundreds of established Appleton Greene corporate training products now available to clients within customer services, e-business, finance, globalization, human resources, information technology, legal, management, marketing and production. It does not matter whether a client’s employees are located within one office, or an unlimited number of international offices, we can still bring them together to learn and implement specific business processes collectively. Our approach to global localization enables us to provide clients with a truly international service with that all important personal touch. Appleton Greene corporate training programs can be provided virtually or locally and they are all unique in that they individually focus upon a specific business function. All (CLP) programs are implemented over a sustainable period of time, usually between 1-4 years, incorporating 12-48 monthly workshops and professional support is consistently provided during this time by qualified learning providers and where appropriate, by Accredited Consultants.
Executive summary
EQ Leader
History of management styles
There has been a significant shift in management styles over the past two decades. The old management style was often characterized by a more traditional and authoritarian approach. Organizations typically had rigid, hierarchical structures with clear lines of authority and control. Decision-making was centralized, with top-level executives making most of the key decisions.
This approach is sometimes referred to as “command and control” or “top-down” management. Managers were expected to assert their authority and maintain a formal distance from employees. Leadership was often perceived as synonymous with authority and power.
Additionally, employee well-being, job satisfaction, and work-life balance were given less attention. The primary focus was often on task completion and efficiency. The emotional and social aspects of work were often overlooked.
Emotional intelligence (EI) or Emotional Quotient (EQ) has ushered in a new management style characterized by a more empathetic, inclusive, and people-centric approach.
This evolving management style recognizes the profound impact of emotions on the workplace and leverages EI principles to foster a healthier, more productive, and innovative work environment.
EI can be described as the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage one’s own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict. It is an ability that allows us to recognize and understand what others are experiencing emotionally.
The old management model prized Intellectual Quotient (IQ) over Emotional Quotient (EQ). Both IQ and EQ play vital roles in a person’s success, but they address different aspects of human intelligence and are often considered complementary rather than mutually exclusive.
The key difference between Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) lies in the types of intelligence they measure and their areas of focus. IQ primarily assesses cognitive abilities, such as logical reasoning, problem-solving, and analytical thinking, providing a numerical score that quantifies one’s intellectual aptitude. In contrast, EQ evaluates one’s emotional awareness, empathy, self-regulation, and interpersonal skills, emphasizing the capacity to recognize, understand, and manage emotions in self and others. While IQ reflects intellectual potential, EQ reflects the ability to navigate social and emotional situations effectively, making it crucial for interpersonal relationships, leadership, and overall emotional well-being.
The concept of emotional intelligence has contributed to a more holistic and employee-centered approach to leadership and organizational management.
Emotional intelligence (EI) has a recent history. Earlier on, psychologists and researchers had laid the foundation for the importance of social and emotional factors in human behavior but did not explicitly define emotional intelligence. It was Daniel Goleman, who popularized the concept of Emotional intelligence in the 1990s, highlighting the importance of EI in life and work.
Since then, numerous studies have explored the role of emotional intelligence in various domains, including leadership, education, and mental health. Researchers have developed assessments to measure EI and have found correlations between higher EI and positive outcomes.
This shift is also notable in business schools and the professional learning and development industry, where there’s now a much heavier emphasis on soft skills – communication, learning agility, resilience, curiosity, and empathy, as well as traditional hard skills. Organizations now offer EI training to enhance leadership, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.
Emotional intelligence continues to evolve as researchers explore its nuances and applications. For instance, we all understand that leaders in organizations need high business acumen or IQ in order to succeed. However, Research now shows that IQ is only one part of the equation. Emotional Intelligence is responsible for 58% of job performance across all industries.
The good news is that unlike IQ which is set at birth, EQ can be increased during a person’s lifetime with proper training.
Current Outlook
Emotional Intelligence has emerged as a key factor for soft skills development in leaders. The World Economic Forum (WEF) listed Emotional Intelligence as one of the top 10 most in-demand skills by organizations worldwide according to the 2020 Future of Jobs repor
