Join your peer BC Food & Beverage senior HR professionals at BCFB’s HR Roundtable. Hosted by BCFB member, Fine Choice Foods, facilitated by Ivy Leung, Fresh Direct Produce, presented by Steve Conway, MSABC, as he shares the importance of emotional intelligence in leaders. 

 

The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Leaders & Workplace Psychological Safety 

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. For leaders, EI is especially important because it helps to create an atmosphere of trust and respect in the workplace. It also helps to foster collaboration and communication among team members. In addition to EI, workplace psychological safety is also an important aspect of creating a positive working environment. Psychological safety is the belief that one can take risks and express ideas without fear of negative consequences or criticism. Leaders should create an environment where employees feel safe to express their opinions and take risks without fear of failure or punishment. This encourages creativity and innovation, as well as a sense of ownership among team members.

May Roundtable Outline

  • Definition of Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
  • The importance of EQ for leaders 
  • How leadership EQ supports workplace psychological safety
  • Structured open discussion on this topic
