Empower Cyber Security Leadership Through Emotional Intelligence
Research clearly shows that a person can have the best training in the world, a sharp, analytical mind and an endless supply of smart ideas, but they still will not make a great leader without a high Emotional Intelligence (EI). This holds especially true for information and cyber security professionals. Harnessing Emotional Intelligence is vital to ensuring effective communication between InfoSec executives and their security teams as well as communication between security executives, stakeholders, teammates, lines of business leaders, customers, and their board of directors. Strong working relationships and interpersonal skills are the keys to success in every area of human activity, especially for a cyber security professional to enhance their leadership skills and bring out the best in their teams. Join Marci McCarthy as she discusses how to best utilize Emotional Intelligence to get ahead, learn how to be authentic to yourself, how to shape your conversations as a thought leader, and how to improve confidence and professionalism.
