#47 - How Emotional Intelligence Fuels Better Alignment|Susan Steinbrecher - a podcast by Tanveer Naseer

Creating alignment in your organization's various processes is critical to being able to achieve your long term goals? But what about creating alignment in terms of how you relate to one another? And how do you go about achieving that? CEO and author Susan Steinbrecher describes how in this latest episode of my leadership podcast, “Leadership Biz Cafe”.



Susan is a business consultant, licensed mediator, and the president and CEO of Steinbrecher And Associates, Inc. a management consulting firm. She's an Inc.com columnist and has been featured in The New York Times and Entrepreneur.com. Susan is also the author of 3 books, including her latest “Meaningful Alignment: Mastering Emotionally Intelligent Interactions at Work and in Life”, which is the focus of this episode.



Over the course of thisepisode, Susan and I discuss:



What is meaningful alignment and why it's as critical to your success as a leader as achieving alignment in your value chain, business processes, etc.
What positive (and negative) impacts arise from addressing meaningful alignment to the way you lead.How to balance the current need for more rapid responses against the competing need for making time to understand why your employees perform/behave the way they do.
How a person's intention is different from their behaviour and how you can go about separating our perception of these two.
A powerful 6 step technique leaders can use to better manage their employee's emotions in those difficult, but necessary conversations.
