Poorly executed brainstorming is a leadership fail
Author and leadership coach Edoardo Binda Zane recognised early on that developing his emotional intelligence skills gave him an edge over his peers and enabled him to lead with influence and impact. Now Edoardo helps others to do the same through exploring the nuances of emotions, perspectives, biases and decision-making to make them leaders worth following. Edoardo shares his leadership insights, research findings and practical strategies for leading with emotional intelligence, including his three critical elements of trust in leadership.
Why you should listen: The must-have leadership qualities required to build trust

Team development driven by benevolence
A leadership framework for moving from convention to creativity
Team Tips

Get clear on what kind of decision-making process it will be: consensus, democratic, consultative, unilateral.
