Emotional Intelligence Training
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is generally defined as the ability to have deep awareness of your own emotions and the emotions of others.
This ability enables leaders to use this information to guide their thinking and actions. It’s important because studies show a correlation between high EQ and many positive outcomes such as employability, leadership acumen, happiness, better health and more successful relationships.
While new skills may only transfer from one position to the next, emotional intelligence transforms a person for the long haul. This is why more and more career specialists recommend EQ training if you’re feeling stuck in your career. A higher EQ will distinguish you as an effective leader.
While methods and even ideas differ about what is and what isn’t emotional intelligence, generally there are common characteristics that separate those with EQ from those without. The biggest one, perhaps, is focusing on feelings. Emotional intelligence begins with what is called self- and social awareness, the ability to recognize emotions (and their impact) in both yourself and others.
Questions such as “what are my emotional strengths?” and “what are my weaknesses?” help develop emotional recognition. Other important self-reflections include things like:
- How does my current mood affect my thoughts and decision making?
- What’s going on under the surface that influences what others say or do?
Helping others is also a shared characteristic of high emotional intelligence because one of the greatest ways to positively impact the emotions of others is to help them. This includes acts such as taking timeout of a busy schedule to listen to others as well as rolling up your sleeves and getting down in the trenches to work alongside them. These types of actions build trust and inspire others to follow your lead when it counts.
Lack of emotional intelligence not only has a negative impact on others, it also can impact the health of a company’s leaders. One of the most common symptoms of low EQ is depression. Without emotional intelligence it’s easy to deal with the wrong issues while ignoring the real ones – a made to order formula for depression as well as lost sales.
