Socially Intelligent Leadership

10 SETI Dimensions for more positive, connective and resilient teams

What is Socially Intelligent Leadership About?

Building Emotionally Intelligent Teams Socially Intelligent Leadership is a special cluster of emotional competencies that determines how well you connect, empathise, relate and get along in your team. It’s about staying on the positive side of teams and helping them develop what we call S E T I – no, not the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence – Social and Emotional Team Intelligence – every team could do with more of it.

This clinic shows leaders how to work with 10 SETI Dimensions to connect better and build more emotionally intelligent teams; to help them build resonance, respect, resilience, connectivity and cohesion – qualities that contribute dramatically to superior team performance.

Though we all probably know a few aliens in our team or wonder what planet some people come from, SETI is not science fiction, it’s science-fact. Everything that happens in a team can be traced back to SETI. The inner-space, not the outer-space, is the new frontier for high-performing teams. No matter what kind of team, or what type of work it does, every team on planet earth relies for its effectiveness and productivity, on emotional interactions. SETI is the new science of getting along well with others – and research reveals that this ability may account for as much as 40% of team performance...

Vulcans and cyborgs aside, it’s impossible for a group of earthlings to interact without emotions. We’re brain-wired to. Some interactions and emotions are constructive – they contribute to team cohesion and collaboration. Others are destructive. They threaten teams with disintegration. We all need SETI because teams by their very nature, are social entities first, work vehicles second. That’s the order it happens in. Teams need to be able to handle the whole inner-space continuum of both beneficial and disruptive emotions that manifest amongst its members.

Individuals need emotional intelligence to manage their own emotions and navigate relationships - and the team as an entire entity needs social intelligence to handle the inevitable conflicts that arise, persevere in the face of setbacks, tackle tough challenges, connect, get along well with team-mates, read what’s going on for each other and harness the energy to take concerted action.

That’s where our clinic on Socially Intelligent Leadership: Building Emotionally Intelligent Teams comes in. Why not beam down and boldly go to this clinic to find out more about the 10 SETI Dimensions that can put your team light years ahead. Aliens and Men-in-Black attend free of charge!

What does the Socially Intelligent Leadership clinic cover?

While we naturally work in teams to achieve things we can’t do alone, working well together in them doesn’t come so naturally. We have to learn how to do this. This 2-day work-out for team leaders and members takes you through a series of activities based on 10 Dimensions for EI Teams that help you in a hands-on way to:

Boost your level of social intelligence and emotional awareness

Build positive emotional states like resilience, tolerance and respect

Measure the emotional temperature of your team

Create more cohesion and connectivity in your team

Apply 5 keys of team behaviour – likingness, safety, empathy, support, feedback

Temper the impact of toxic emotions on team climate

Reinforce relationship builders like resonance and rapport

This clinic includes a comprehensive self-coaching Toolkit to help you and your team start putting tools into practice back-at-work.

Who's this Clinic for?

Participants at our EI clinics come from the ranks of leaders, professionals and workers of all sorts. We have specialist EI clinics for leaders and staff but this clinic is for anyone – leader or team members – who want to do something about improving the emotional climate of the team they work in. We often find that teams get better results when a number of people from the same unit decide to come along together to do this work-out and plan changes.
