Leadership 2.0 – Bill Benjamin
The Science Behind Great Leaders

How will you keep your talented employees and engage your younger generations?
How will you manage growing business demands, and still find time to coach your people? These are familiar questions that all leaders face – and few have the solutions to these problems more clearly than Bill Benjamin, http://ihhp.com/bill.htm, an expert in the cutting edge science of Emotional Intelligence, http://ihhp.com/what_is_eq.htm.

What is Emotional Intelligence (EI)?
EI is the ability to recognize and manage your own emotions and to connect to the emotions of others. Great leaders are able to manage their emotions when there is tension and conflict so they can engage more skillfully. Great leaders know that emotions are infectious – as a leader you have the power to unleash best performance or to sabotage it.

Leadership 2.0 is a completely different look at leadership and Bill Benjamin has a rare perspective – he has advanced degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science and has 15 years of real-world business experience as a senior leader. Bill brings a straightforward look at the brain science of emotions that drive your leadership behaviors. He provides the practical tools that you can apply to engage your team and drive higher performance.
