Presentation of the subject

The subject "New trends. Leading with Emotional Intelligence" is designed to develop practical skills that will allow you to apply emotional intelligence in your leadership and team management.

The course focuses on fundamental concepts of emotional intelligence and its relevance in the organizational field. We will learn how to use emotional intelligence to improve our self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, motivation and our social skills. These skills are key to creating a positive work environment, managing conflicts, and leading teams effectively.

We will also look at what coaching is and practice with its main tools so that you can connect with the needs of your colleagues and work teams.

This is a very practical and experiential subject. Each session is designed to be interactive, with exercises in which we will not only understand the theoretical concepts, but apply them in real situations. We will work on group dynamics, self-awareness and self-regulation exercises, and leadership simulations to experience how emotional intelligence is applied in everyday life.

By the end of the course, we will not only have a better understanding of our own emotions and those of others, but we will also have developed key skills for effective leadership.

Activities and evaluation system

  • ASSISTANCE (15%): The subject is eminently practical and experiential in nature. For this reason, regular attendance at sessions is highly recommended, since much of the learning is built from the activities, dynamics and experiences shared in the classroom.
  • FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITIES (15%): Includes class activities and the delivery or presentation of proposed activities during the course.
  • ORAL PARTICIPATION IN CLASS AND TEAMWORK (10%): Oral communication skills in the classroom and teamwork skills are assessed, both inside and outside the classroom.
  • PROJECT (30%): A project will be proposed at the beginning of the course and will be worked on in teams throughout the course to put into practice the knowledge acquired, as well as the competence of oral and written communication. The project is mandatory and is approved with a 5.
  • FINAL EXAMINATION (30%): The exam will consist of a theoretical test and a practical case where students will have to develop all the concepts acquired and practiced throughout the course. The final exam is mandatory and must be passed with a 5 to count towards the rest of the assessment. In the event of retakes, the grades of the activities will be kept and only the exam will have to be retaken. If the student did not appear in the first call, they will not be able to appear for the retake. 

Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the center's assessment regulations. If signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship.
