Grow your Emotional Intelligence to ensure professional success
For professionals, cognitive intelligence comes naturally
since it is the driver of their functional excellence. Most professionals score high on
IQ - Intelligence Quotient. As professionals gradually move up the ladder and
take senior/ management roles, building Emotional Intelligence - measured as EQ becomes essential. Per my
observation it becomes a differentiating factor for their future growth. As one
progresses further; they realize that with their Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
staying steady at the achieved level, growing their Emotional Intelligence enables them to become effective managers
and leaders.
Emotional Intelligence spectrum:
Self-Actualization: perceiving your current strengths &
weakness, learning to self-improve, setting & striving to achieve your objectives, and gaining
fulfillment.
Assertiveness: confidently expressing your thoughts &
views while being aware of the potential for causing a conflict or opposition.
Interpersonal skills: being sensitive to other person’s
situation, collaborating, and developing strong relationships.
Impulse Control: delaying/holding-off the temptation to
speak or act, and patiently sorting out the most appropriate response.
Practical Thinking: assessing & checking the reality of the current situation while avoiding to be biased by any false imagination.
Problem Solving: connecting with the subjective & objective elements while solving problems and effectively taking choices/decisions
Flexibility: assessing new conditions, being open to
dynamically adapt to them, and accordingly adjusting your behavior.
Resilience: maintaining a positive attitude in hard times,
and enduring challenges effectively with an optimistic view for a better
outcome.
