Purpose of the Handbook
The ECD Leadership Handbook is a unique resource for leaders looking to lift their emotional leadership skills. It's a personal guide to understanding and harnessing the power of emotions within leadership roles. This is a tailor-made leadership development tool.
Problem It Solves: Most leaders underestimate the role of emotions on the culture of their teams and the performance of their people. This handbook helps leaders to identify the emotional culture they want to intentionally craft and influence and use it to guide the way they show up and lead the people they serve.
How the Handbook Works
Leaders use the handbook to:
- Reflect on the emotions they want to foster and avoid in their leadership.
- Consider how to intentionally foster their team’s emotional culture.
- Define what kind of leader they don't want to be and what they aspire to be.
- Identify emotional hurdles and plan ways to navigate them effectively.
- Complete prompts about personal and professional aspirations, offering advice, and practising gratitude.
By working through the handbook, you gain insights that can lead to stronger relationships both professionally and personally.
Handbook Use: This handbook is for you to use on your own, not with a team. It's great for leaders to get to know themselves better so they can understand their team better too.
Difference from the ECD Know Yourself Handbook: This handbook follows Steps 1-7 of the Emotional Culture Deck For Leaders, focusing specifically on leadership emotional intelligence and culture crafting, unlike The ECD Know Yourself Handbook, which applies only to understanding self.
