About this Episode

In this episode of the HR in Review pod, we look at ways to increase productivity plus we consider why high EQ is important for effective leaders.

Guest: Lena Thompson
Bill Banham‘s guest this time is Lena Thompson, founder and speaker at Lena Thompson International and former System Analyst at Morgan Stanley.

Questions for Lena include: 

  • You often talk about productivity – can you share some productivity tips or suggestions for ways to think about it?
  • You also talk a lot about emotional intelligence. Why is high EQ important for effective leaders?
  • How do you think spirituality can be used in the business world? How can we make it practical? i.e. what tools can organisations use?
  • Is one’s ‘energy’ inherent (are we born with it)/manifestation of our personality or is it learned?
