EQ & YOU
What does it take to create a successful working relationship between Leader and Assistant? Can these relationships even be created? Or does their success simply depend upon luck and a good dose of tolerance?
There are four steps that each party can take to ensure a smooth and productive relationship:
- Know Yourself
- Control Yourself
- Know Others
- Do Something for Others
These four steps come from Tracom's Social STYLE model - and by working on these steps you can enhance your "EQ" - or emotional intelligence - and ultimately the productivity of your workplace.

Social Style Tip of the Day: How do Amiable Style People Feel about Risk?
Amiable Style people tend to be risk-averse. They don’t want to make decisions or engage in activities that have the potential to disrupt the status quo or their sense of security. It can be challenging for them to take risks, and when they find themselves confronted with risky situations they will rely on their own instincts, as well as the opinions of others, to guide them.

Go Home By 5: www.home-by-5.com
What are people saying?
“I have observed leaders who have experienced “Home By 5” become more strategically focused. Their processes are more disciplined and work gets done in a timely fashion. The defined processes also have allowed the leaders to spend less time to do the mundane, the must dos – freeing them up to focus on leadership responsibilities.”
