Emotional Intelligence: The Missing Skills in your Product Stack
How do we achieve success in product management? For many of us success is mastering what we do; building great roadmaps, developing a knock-out strategy or hitting our OKRs. But what about how we do the work? Isn't that just as important? In this talk, we'll take a look at what Emotional Intelligence is and how meta EI skills like self awareness and conflict resolution can help us make better decisions, build stronger relationships with colleagues and customers, and become more empathetic leaders and teammates. You'll take with you some practical tools that can help you explore and build your EI through everyday practices that can give you a boost both professionally and personally.
Key takeaways…
1. The benefits of being a Product organisation with EQ - where emotional intelligence is just as essential as functional skills like roadmaps and OKRs
2. How to apply product thinking and experimentation to building self awareness through a practice of self reflection and Continuous Personal Development
3. How to understand and manage your own reactions to conflict and prepare your team for the next time conflict happens (because there's always going to be conflict!)
