Lab
The Empathy Edge! Social Intelligence in action.
Navigating and shaping relationships.
Lab with Ruth Maier-Hamberger
Did you know that 70% of employees believe that empathy is the most important quality a leader can have? Or that leaders with high social intelligence are 2.5 times more likely to succeed in their roles?
Social intelligence isn't just a "nice-to-have" skill — it's a game-changer for leaders looking to thrive in today's complex and interconnected world. More than ever, effective leadership goes beyond technical expertise and strategic vision. It requires a deep understanding of human dynamics, the ability to connect with others on a profound level, and the skill to navigate complex interpersonal relationships with finesse. That's where social intelligence comes in.
