This Vitality report covers the period 2019 – 2022, identifies 4 Top Trends in high performing teams, and looks at comparative outcomes in this period.
Emotional Intelligence Fuels Vital Leadership
New research reveals that people with high emotional intelligence scores are 7 x as likely to have high scores on leadership vitality.
Execution as a driver for effectiveness
Execution is the ability to achieve strategic results by implementing effective tactics. Do your team members perceive they have the systems and structures to prioritize, efficiently accomplish tasks, and achieve results? Or is their energy wasted, lots of waving arms without real movement forward?
Teamwork Pulse Points
The old model of teamwork identified star performers, promoted them and rewarded them. Even if someone left a trail of destruction but got the desired results, they were viewed as stars. But in today’s complex world, it’s difficult for just one person to have a complete vision. Increasingly, performance is explained by our capability to work with others to solve problems and create synergies among multiple talents.
Motivation as a driver for effectiveness
Motivation is the source of energy to overcome challenges, pursue a goal, or maintain commitment. If you are in a leadership role, how much strength does your team have today? Are people coming into work full of energy or even excitement? Or are they dragging their feet with dark circles under their eyes?
The Vital Signs Tool Set
Practical emotional intelligence starts with observing how you feel and behave to create awareness. This then allows you to take responsibility for both your feelings and behaviour to create a more positive impact on all areas of your life. From here you are then able to practice responding rather than reacting which assists in practicing empathy with yourself and others.
