Learning Modules
Leading Inclusively
01
Emotional Intelligence
When managers move into leadership, Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Emotional Intelligence (EI) are the greatest factors that determine their success. Studies show only 15% of leadership success comes from IQ, while an overwhelmingly 85% of leadership success comes from EQ or EI.
02
The Belonging Factor
Managers and employees alike dread performance management reviews when there is a lack of connection with job function, organizational culture, and organizational vision and mission. The Belonging Factor module merges performance management, talent management and belonging. Belonging is the intangible experience employees have when they feel connected. This connection reaps many benefits including increased morale, lowered turnover, increased market share, boosted revenue and overall employee health.
03
DEI Design Thinking
In the 1950s and 60s engineering and architectural design companies started using design thinking methodology to provide a solution-based approach to solving problems. Today design thinking methodology is used in every facet of society including organizational behavior, the development and implementation of government policies, product design and service delivery. Some of the companies using design thinking today to stay ahead of their competitors include Toyota, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung Electronics, Bank of America Corp., PepsiCo., and Nike. Ascension Worldwide’s DEI Design Thinking module helps companies solve problems by looking at design thinking through a lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
