In today’s rapidly evolving Medical Affairs landscape, technical expertise alone is no longer enough. To truly thrive in times of transformation, leaders must cultivate emotional intelligence—the foundation of effective leadership.
Join us for Part 1 of our 3-part, interactive 60-minute webinar series designed specifically for members of the Medical Affairs Professional Society (MAPS) who are eager to elevate their leadership and management capabilities. This session will explore the five elements of emotional intelligence—self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills—and how they can be harnessed to build resilient, high-performing Medical Affairs teams.
- Through real-world case studies, peer insights, and guided reflection, you’ll learn how emotionally intelligent leadership can:
- Strengthen team cohesion and trust
- Improve communication and collaboration
- Enhance decision-making under pressure
- Foster a culture of empathy and accountability
