Emotional Intelligence

90% of top performers are also high in emotional intelligence.

 There is more and more evidence to show that effective leaders and managers have one thing in common – the ability to understand and interact effectively with their teams. Emotional intelligence is having the ability to identify, assess and control your own emotions and other’s emotions. People that are emotionally intelligent are motivators, whereas those who aren’t tend to be de-motivators

Emotional intelligence looks specifically at the following areas:

  • Personal competence – This focuses more on you individually than on your interactions with other people. Personal competence is your ability to stay aware of your emotions and manage your behaviour and tendencies.
  • Self-Awareness is your ability to accurately perceive your emotions and stay aware of them as they happen.
  • Self-Management is your ability to use awareness of your emotions to stay flexible and positively direct your behaviour.
  • Social competence – This is your ability to understand other people’s moods, behaviour, and motives in order to improve the quality of your relationships.
  • Social Awareness is your ability to accurately pick up on emotions in other people and understand what is really going on.
  • Relationship Management is your ability to use awareness of your emotions and the others’ emotions to manage interactions successfully.
