Leadership 4.0

Leadership through emotional intelligence

The digital transformation and a fundamental change in values in today's society are creating completely new working worlds with changed conditions, requirements and employee needs. Companies that want to successfully and profitably master the new working world 4.0 must respond to the challenges with adapted leadership. The greatest requirements here are not the processes, structures and workflows, because these are often quick and easy to adapt and change. Rather, companies face major challenges where people are involved, because satisfied employees are often the key to entrepreneurial success. For most managers, this means adapting and developing their leadership style. Better said: they have to learn emotional intelligence and integrate it into their leadership style.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to develop a sense for one's own as well as for others' feelings in order to correctly grasp them and thereby derive effective actions. Emotional intelligence enables the leader to neutralize emotional difficulties and create a space for positive emotions. Leaders with a high level of emotional intelligence also have the willingness and ability to empathize with the attitudes of other employees, show empathy and thus create positive and transparent cooperation, which leads to a positive working atmosphere in the long term. This is crucial for the company's success, because a pleasant and positive working atmosphere increases efficiency and motivates employees to do things that go beyond their daily tasks. Studies show that creating a positive climate through successful leadership accounts for an increase of 20-30 % in company successes.

Digitalization brings us new techniques and methods and creates efficient ways to design processes and workflows. The clear difference between people and technology are emotions. These should be harnessed and integrated into leadership. Because leadership through emotional intelligence is the opportunity to actively and successfully shape change.
