What is Emotional Intelligence?

Описание

Everyone wants to be emotionally intelligent, but what is emotional intelligence afterall? We give a simple working definition for emotional intelligence in the workplace.

Emotional intelligence is being aware of and able to manage emotions effectively, both managing emotions in yourself and working with other people. It's made up of five building blocks:
• Self awareness
• Self regulation
• Motivation
• Social awareness
• Social regulation

We talk about each one of these very briefly, but we go into more depth in our other videos. Subscribe now if you haven't already and you'll see more of our videos as we release them.

Self control is an example of self regulation, and motivation is key to good emotional intelligence. The first three (self awareness, self regulation and motivation) are important for intrapersonal intelligence.

Social awareness is demonstrated by empathy in the workplace, and social skills are a great example of social regulation. Both of these are highly relevant for interpersonal effectiveness or social intelligence.

All five of these are part of the emotional quotient. There are several good ways to measure emotional intelligence at work and we recommend the TTI emotional quotient. It is straightforward and doesn't use a lot of technical jargon as an emotional quotient test.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is a key part of success on a personal and business level, and it can be learned. Emotionally intelligent companies are better able to win and serve customers, create workplaces where people enjoy their work, and make a contribution to their communities.

Smart leaders develop emotional intelligence and make emotions discussable. They also lead others to get emotionally smarter.
