The Emotional Culture Deck (ECD) is an innovative, human-centred tool designed to help leaders and teams build emotionally intelligent and high-performing cultures. It’s a simple yet powerful way to explore the emotions that drive success, collaboration, and connection.
Why It Matters
Research has shown that emotional intelligence (EQ) plays a far greater role in leadership and team success than IQ alone. Emotions influence how we show up, communicate, and work together, making emotional culture a critical component of thriving organisations.
Supporting Change for Better Results
The Emotional Culture Deck is particularly effective in times of change and transition. By helping teams openly discuss and navigate the emotions tied to change, it fosters trust, reduces resistance, and aligns people around a shared vision for the future. This results in smoother transitions and better long-term outcomes.
