Leading with Emotional Intelligence: Strengthening Retention

Turnover rates create costly cycles of recruitment, training, and staff shortages that directly impact safety, morale, and outcomes. This session explores findings from a phenomenological study on the role perceptions of emotionally intelligent leadership played in the retention of South Carolina correctional staff. Attendees will learn how emotionally intelligent leaders — those who demonstrate awareness of self, awareness of others, and awareness of context — can transform organizational culture, reduce turnover, and promote employee well-being. Practical strategies for leadership training and organizational change will be highlighted, offering concrete steps to build resilience.

Key Outcomes:

·         Recognize the Connection Between Leadership Behaviors and Retention

·         Apply Practical Strategies for Training and Development

·         Envision Organizational Benefits of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
