Premera Group LLC is an innovator in helping leaders in small-midsize organizations develop their capability to more effectively navigate the growing challenges of our volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. Our clients are often tasked to do-more-with-less and face ever-increasing demands on their time, attention, and emotional energy.
We are the global leader in bringing emotional leadership to the forefront of the broader leadership development conversation and have developed The Emotional Leadership System™ to specifically address the new set of challenges today’s leaders face.
With the increasingly rapid pace of change and growing competition for top talent, leaders of small-midsize organizations can no longer rely solely on strategic plans, technology, or workplace incentives. Going forward, the most successful leaders will be those who most fully engage the hearts and minds of their teams, working together toward meaningful objectives and inspiring visions.
What’s needed is a new kind of leadership—one that is emotionally agile, attuned to complexity, and grounded in the capacity to cultivate conditions of trust, engagement, and accountability at every level.
Unlike most traditional leadership development models that focus on skills, behaviors, or competencies, The Emotional Leadership System™ centers around emotional tone authorship—the capacity to intentionally engage and navigate emotional energy, particularly at key moments of tension between competing values or goals. It offers a practical framework for adaptive growth, grounded in neurobiological research and psychological systems theory.
Emotional intelligence was a useful, initial step in addressing emotional negligence, but it is no longer a sufficient capability in today’s rapidly evolving and changing world. With mounting pressure to perform and employee engagement stalled and declining, leaders must set and cultivate the emotional tone for their teams and their organization—recognizing that it is people who fuel success, and it is emotion that fuels people.
The bottom line: emotional tone is not noise to be managed—it is the means by which clarity, leadership presence, and adaptive accountability are realized.
