You have a choice to make every time you interact with another person. You can chose to add to the creative power for growth and development, or you can chose to break down relationships with the destructive power of negativity. Which will you chose? Find out more about how to do the first one next week! We are looking forward to presenting another session on #EmotionalIntelligence at the Florida Recreation and Park Association annual conference next week in Orlando. If you have staff going to this wonderful conference, we hope to see them there.

Local Government Solutions, LLC recently completed a compensation study for the city of #Mascotte, FL. As part of the project, we dedicated 5% of the net revenue to a local charity. We donated almost $300 to the #GreaterClermontCancerFoundation. This organization provides financial assistance to those in our area struck by cancer. Having experienced the financial burden, pain, and suffering cancer has had on our family, GCCF's mission is especially meaningful. Contact us if your organization is in need of a #CompensationStudy, #OrganizationalAnalysis, #StrategicPlan, or any number of management analyses. Your community may benefit too. Also, if you'd like to donate to a great cause, visit the Greater Clermont Cancer Foundation here. https://www.gccf.us/

You can contact us through our website or by InMail. https://lnkd.in/ejNfsYtR Self-awareness, self-management, social-awareness, and relationship management are the four core competencies of emotional intelligence (EQ). Some call them the “soft skills,” but they are the most critical predictor of leadership achievement. Accounting for 58% of all success, the World Economic Forum named emotional intelligence the most valuable skillset in this decade. People with high EQ understand how to manage their emotions, especially under pressure, and are better at expressing themselves, solving problems, managing stress, and relating to others. A 40-year study of PhDs at UC Berkeley found that EQ was four times more powerful than IQ when predicting success, and 90% of top-performing employees score high on EQ, compared to just 20% of low performers. Additionally, employees who have managers with high EQ are four times less likely to leave than those who have managers with low EQ. In short, EQ equals results, higher employee engagement, better retention, and successful performance across the board. Many high performing companies, like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Nike, use emotional intelligence assessments like the EQ-i 2.0 as part of their recruitment and training processes.

Local Government Solutions, LLC completed our four day emotional intelligence and team development training with the Fire Department and executive leadership groups at the City of Safety Harbor, FL. After speaking with some of the leaders post-training, it was nice to hear staff was already using some of the skills they learned to inquire as opposed to advocate and to better understand their peers. These skills are lessons learned from great thought leaders on emotional intelligence, leadership, and organizational development including Carey Rosen Davidson, Adam Grant, and Patrick Lencioni.
