Emotional Intelligence for Leaders

Leading with Emotional Intelligence is a 5-day course delivered by Mars Training Centre in London, Paris, Dubai, Rome, and Bangkok — designed for senior leaders who want to develop emotional intelligence as a measurable leadership capability.

Decades of research now show that emotional intelligence — the ability to recognise and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others — is one of the strongest predictors of senior-leadership success. This programme is built for leaders who want to move beyond intuition and treat emotional intelligence as a discipline they can develop deliberately.

Across five days, you will work with a validated emotional-intelligence assessment, examine real cases of how emotional intelligence shapes senior leadership outcomes, and develop the personal practices that build it as a lasting capability.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this programme, you will be able to:

• Define the four domains of emotional intelligence and how each shapes senior leadership.
• Diagnose your personal emotional-intelligence profile using a validated assessment.
• Recognise and manage your own emotional triggers in high-stakes situations.
• Read the emotional context of teams, boards, and key stakeholder groups.
• Apply structured techniques for managing difficult conversations.
• Build trust and psychological safety in the teams you lead.
• Lead with empathy without losing decisiveness.
• Build a personal emotional-intelligence development plan for the 90 days after the course.

How You Will Benefit

You will leave with a measurable understanding of your emotional-intelligence profile and the disciplines to develop it further, and a Mars Certificate of Completion.

Your organisation will gain a senior leader with sharper judgement in high-stakes interpersonal moments — and stronger teams as a result.
