Following the success of a leadership initiative in the Australian business using emotional intelligence, Carol initiated a pilot program within Quiksilver USA that used emotional intelligence as the platform for developing a dynamic leadership culture in the Americas. Her particular focus was to create a common language and competency framework to forge a strong, vibrant leadership team to take the business forward.

In her case study, Carol will explore why Quiksilver saw emotional intelligence as a critical framework for consolidating the unique leadership culture at Quiksilver, and then discuss how the program was designed, implemented and received.
