This is a leadership-focused course centred on emotional intelligence, with complementary insights into how AI intersects with human-centred leadership.
You’ll learn how AI impacts leadership roles and how emotionally intelligent leaders can leverage AI tools while maintaining human connection.
While AI lacks true emotions, it can be programmed to detect human emotions through sentiment analysis or facial recognition. However, it cannot replicate authentic empathy or emotional intelligence.
EQ in leadership refers to a leader’s ability to understand, manage, and use their emotions effectively while empathising with and influencing others.
AI assists leaders with decision-making, data analysis, performance tracking, and communication—but effective leadership still relies on human empathy and ethics.
