Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence is the most important characteristic in business, it is well researched and documented to be the link between average and exceptional leaders.

Emotional intelligence is the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically:

" emotional intelligence is the key to both personal and professional success"

Emotional Intelligence is what separates star performers from the mediocre, it is the capacity to understand and manage your emotions. The skills involved in emotional intelligence are: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills.

The pillars of Emotional Intelligence are:

  1. Motivation and desire

  2. Self awareness

  3. Self regulation

  4. Empathy

  5. Social skills

Emotional intelligence can help you navigate the social complexities of the workplace, lead and motivate others, and excel in your career. In fact, when it comes to gauging job candidates, many companies now view emotional intelligence as being as important as technical ability and require EQ testing before hiring.

There is a direct link between the way people feel and the way they perform at work. This is one of the most robust and consistent findings in organisational research. In high performing organisations people feel significantly more engaged, cared for, valued, proud, and motivated than those in low performing organisations. Conversely, in low performing organisations people feel significantly more fearful, stressed, disempowered and uncertain.
