FOR INNOVATIVE THINKING
(2
day training programme)
Introduction
Corporate
leaders and outstanding entrepreneurs are not defined by their
IQ’s or even their job skills, but by their “Emotional
Intelligence”: a set of competencies that distinguishes
how people manage feelings, interact and communicate. Unlike IQ,
Emotional Intelligence (EQ), continues to develop with life experiences.
Understanding and raising your Emotional Intelligence is essential
to your success and leadership potential. EQ is the barometer
of excellence on virtually any job.
What
is Emotional Intelligence?
It is the ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the
power and acumen of emotions as a source of human energy, information
and influence. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) emerges not merely
from intellectual rationalization, but from the workings of the
human heart. EQ requires that we learn to acknowledge and value
feelings in ourselves and in others and that we appropriately
respond to them, effectively applying the information and energy
of emotions in our daily life and work. It is Emotional Intelligence
that motivates us to pursue our unique potential and purpose,
and activates our innermost values and aspirations, transforming
them from things we think about to what we live.
Emotional
Intelligence has basic components such as:
-
Self-Awareness, which is the ability of an individual to recognize
and understand one’s moods, emotions and drives as well
as their impact on others.
-
Self-Regulation or the ability to control or redirect impulses
and moods as well as the ability to suspend judgment so as to
think before acting.
-
Empathy or the ability to understand the emotional makeup of
other people and skill in responding according to their emotional
reactions.
-
Interpersonal skills, which indicate the individual’s
proficiency in managing relationships and building networks.
Interpersonal skills also involve the ability to find common
ground and build rapport.
EQ
in the Workplace
EQ helps us understand how and why we react and respond to certain
events in the organization. It also helps us to appreciate that
our daily encounters are shaped not just by our rational judgment
and our personal history but are largely influenced by our perceptions
and expectations.
EQ
styles play a very important role in daily workplace interactions
such as:
-
How we respond to criticisms
-
How we deal with diversity
-
How tolerant we are with certain behaviours or situations
-
How we motivate ourselves and others
