Recent research indicates that a key indicator and predictor of true leadership is an individual's capacity to find meaning in negative events and learn from challenging circumstances. The Stress Management Composite Scale comprises three emotional intelligence competencies: flexibility, stress tolerance, and optimism. These competencies are essential for overcoming adversity and emerging stronger and more committed, which are the qualities that define extraordinary leaders. This class is designed to help participants assess their proficiency in these three competencies and provide practical tools to develop the skills necessary to become extraordinary leaders.
