Emotional Leadership Ep 3: Prof Sarah Leberman MNZM - Professor of Leadership
Sarah Leberman MNZM is one of New Zealand's most influential leaders.
She believes that leadership is not about the title. Everyone can exercise leadership. We've been conditioned over many years to behave in a certain way and many leaders are hesitant to embrace emotion because in her life it was seen as a weakness to show emotion.
But it's Ok to be compassionate and show empathy and be strong. You can show emotion and be an excellent leader.
Emotional leadership is all about getting to know your people as people first.

“Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason, mastery demands all of a person.” – Albert Einstein
Lotty Roberts achieved her goal of becoming the world's first Master Elephant Rider last week after completing an almost three-year journey with The Emotional Culture Deck and riders&elephants.

Emotional Leadership – Season 2 Elephant Rider Insights
There's a myth that work and emotions don't mix. That we need to check them at the door. Lots of leaders suppress feelings or avoid expressing them. We're gonna flip workplace conversations and show you how embracing emotions as a leader will change the way you lead.
There is no one way to exercise leadership. But emotion is critical. Because emotion helps you understand who you are working with. It also helps you build relationships with your people based on who they are – not who you are.
Emotional leadership involves:
- Awareness of the importance of emotions – both yours and our peoples' – acknowledging the impact of them on the individual and collective impact they have on the team. Using that emotional awareness and understanding to positively shape the culture of the team – deliberately and intentionally.
- Understanding your people, where they are emotionally and being able to help them manage the unpleasant...
School Sports Team Culture Training Programme – Free Download
Sports coaches and school leaders can use the Emotional Culture Deck to foster an emotion-driven culture and increase young people's emotional and social development.

Even though this program is about school sports teams, you can hack it and use it for any group of people within a school environment: a group of musical students, a group of performing arts students, a group of teachers. Even a classroom can use this to define their culture.
We've seen first-hand how this game can help young people with social-emotional learning. But there are a lot of barriers keeping schools and community groups from having this discussion.
We feel it's our duty to use our platform and skills to help as many young people, schools and community groups as we can around the world.
