This was announced yesterday by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) as it cited precautionary measures that need to be undertaken amid the spread of the novel coronavirus acute respiratory disease or COVID-19*, and in response to the Department of Health’s (DOH) recent recommendation for the cancellation of events that draw a huge number of attendees.

Government leaders need emotional intelligence to manage people well.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) invites participants to the first quarter offering of the Civil Service Institute (CSI) Leadership Series entitled Emotional Intelligence and Leadership to be held on 18 March 2020 at the CSC Resource Center, Quezon City. This one-day learning and development event focuses on emotional intelligence or EI as a crucial element for leaders to motivate their people and influence their organizations.

In the field of human resource (HR) management, EI is defined as an individual’s capacity to understand and manage one’s emotions. A leader’s EI is manifested in the way he or she handles interpersonal relationships, steers organizational performance, and influences organizational culture. EI also encompasses wide-ranging leadership functions that go beyond technical skills.
