Leadership is a concept that we can easily extend to all employees in modern organizations, not just reserved for leaders. Recently, leadership has become a key skill for everyone in a company. This is why we invited Dan Ionita, Sales Coach & Coaching Practitioner, to inspire us to become leaders in our own roles and take responsibility for our personal and organizational growth. At the heart of this experience lies the concept of "Intentional Leadership," which involves taking responsibility, making informed decisions, and continuous development. The workshop covered the following main topics:
- Leadership and Emotional Intelligence: We explored the close connection between leadership and emotional intelligence, and how the latter can help create a healthier, more productive, and motivating work environment.
- Leadership in Organizations: By addressing the concepts of influence and power, we found out how leadership is not limited to formal leadership positions. Any one of us has the potential to influence and guide teams and colleagues.
- Taking Responsibility: We learned how to take responsibility for failures and successes, and how this can contribute to personal development.
- Making Informed Decisions: We discussed methods and techniques for making informed decisions and evaluating options objectively.
- Cultivating Courage and Openness: We learned to express our ideas and contribute to the development of the organization through open communication and active listening.
The ultimate goal of the workshop was to help us develop as authentic leaders in our own roles, contributing to a culture characterized by trust and continuous development within the organization, and also outside of it.
