Leading Game Teams With Emotional Intelligence

A lot of has been said about the efficiencies of teams and how process, tools and technology can be improved to help us make games. Yet our greatest -and often only- asset is the talent that we work with. Leading talent means engaging our team members as individuals and human beings who are guided to a large degree by emotional factors. Often this softer side is undervalued and overlooked.  Yet, the efficiency of a team requires leadership to understand that emotions exist, they play a key role in individuals and teams’ performance.

Over the last 20 years Matias has worked with game teams of various sizes around the world. He will share his learnings on the importance of emotional intelligence and illustrate these with some personal examples. He will also highlight a few common laws of emotional intelligence. The hope is to help leaders deliberately lead with emotional intelligence in mind.
