#21. Creating emotional intelligent organizations with Caroline Stokes. / lg.

Everyone of us wants the best talent in their teams. People who
can drive change, grow the business, make a difference, bring
energy and solve the biggest challenges within the organisation.
We call them unicorns - everyone is looking for them, but they
are pretty hard to find. 


My guest today knows how to attract these talents, but more
important she also knows how organizations need to change to keep
them. Carolin Stokes is the author and TedTalk Speaker of
„Elephants before Unicorns“, spent years in the tech industry at
PlayStation, Virgin and Nokia, build a humanistic headhunting and
consulting company and is supporting big organisations to become
emotionally intelligent. Most importantly - she is a fun and
inspiring talk partner. 


Some things I have learned in our session:
️ Never underestimate Empathy as a game changer for personal
development.
️ Always be honest and transparent to potential new hires about
the challenges within the company. It’s the only way not to loose
them in the first three months.
️ Make sure you find the „elephants“ in your organization. What
is keeping people to bring up challenges and solving them? Start
to tackle them from top to bottom.
️ Start now to assess where your Org stands in terms of emotional
intelligence: Workplace EQ Diagnostic
