The Emotionally Intelligent Manager: MIND Tools for Cross-Team Leadership

This flagship program develops the emotional intelligence, self-mastery, and cross-functional collaboration skills required to lead in today’s volatile environment. “Cross-team leadership” refers to the ability to influence, coordinate, and collaborate across functions, roles, geographies, and stakeholder groups — especially when authority is distributed and success depends on navigating interdependencies rather than managing a single team.

Built on Brainayan’s neuroscience-based MIND Framework, this multi-week learning journey blends live workshops, spaced practice, reflection, and guided application. Participants learn to regulate emotions under pressure, read interpersonal cues with accuracy, build trust swiftly, and lead across teams with clarity and psychological safety.

Welcome to The MIND EQ Leadership Journey

Modern managers operate in a context very different from leadership programs of the past. Today’s leaders navigate AI-driven disruption and job redesign, geopolitical tension, supply-chain fragility, intergenerational workplaces (Gen Z–Millennial–Gen X), rapid digitization, and constant ambiguity. These forces intensify emotional load and make relationship-based leadership indispensable.

To lead effectively, managers must stay regulated under uncertainty, interpret complex team dynamics, collaborate across functions with limited context, and give feedback without triggering defensiveness. This journey builds these capabilities through experiential practice, real scenarios, spaced learning, and structured reflection — enabling managers to lead with confidence, empathy, and resilience in an increasingly unpredictable world.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

By the end of this journey, participants will be able to:

1.

Build self-awareness and emotional regulation to stay composed in high-pressure, high-ambiguity contexts.

2.

Decode emotional drivers behind behavior to anticipate and influence reactions across functions.

3.

Strengthen empathy, communication, and feedback fluency for smoother cross-team interactions.

4.

5.

Collaborate effectively across teams by fostering trust, safety, and functional empathy.
