Course Description

  • Are Emotional Employees at Workplace Draining You Out?
  • Should You, as a Leader, Take Responsibility for Providing Bottomless Support to them?

Whether you manage someone who repeatedly asks the same questions, overshares, needs constant affirmation, or struggles receiving criticism, the best way to resolve the issue is to address it head on.

 If you give in to their behavior out of fear of hurting their feelings, you will only reinforce it. Emotionally needy people often don’t realize the degree to which they drain others.

Managers and Leaders need to understand key elements of emotional intelligence and how to manage emotionally needy employees, especially when it lowers team morale and takes away from their ability to get work done.

  • The elements of emotional intelligence and how to handle employees who may have difficulties controlling their feelings.
  • During the webinar, we will examine the causes of strong emotions and how they may be indicators of mental health issues.
  • Attendees will learn how to communicate with employees that display strong feelings.
  • Participants will be introduced to active listening, paraphrasing, powerful questions, and reframing as a way to deal with emotional employees.
  • In addition, participants will learn how to identify possible threats of violence and responses an organization must take to maintain the safety of the workplace.
