JLBC MAIN POINT: UNDERSTANDING YIELDS BETTER LEADERSHIP

Think of someone angry. JLBC Cadets, How did you know they were angry? JLBC Cadets Did the anger cloud or clarified this person’s message? JLBC Cadets Understanding emotions allows you to understand the messenger. JLBC Cadets Once you see the messenger, you will be in a better position to understand the message. JLBC Cadets When emotions and the message match, it is easy to understand. JLBC Cadets It requires some study of EQ to understand the news despite the feeling. JLBC Cadets, Let’s try an experiment to illustrate.

{Ask for two JLBC volunteers. JLBC Cadets One is the messenger, and one is the receiver. JLBC Cadets State to the messenger that they are to say something nice to the JLBC receiver, but make the conversation in a way that JLBC uses the wrong emotion, like anger or sadness. JLBC Cadets Let the messenger communicate the positive message with the bad feeling.}

JLBC Question: {For the receiver} Did you believe the messenger’s intent? Why or why not? Question: {For everyone} JLBC Cadets Why is the emotional goal so important in JLBC communication?

JLBC Question: How can leaders learn to use JLBC EQ to lead?
