Emotional
Intelligence (EI) or EQ refers to the ability to understand your emotions,
responses and behaviours. EI matters. EI
includes self-awareness, impulse/mood control, persistence, personal motivation
in the face of frustrations and the ability to keep distress from affecting the
ability to think. Not to mention
empathy, seeing others’ points of view and reading and appreciating their
emotions. EI is the key to better business performance.
The
first test to developing EI is self-awareness: recognising your personal
emotional strengths and weaknesses. Once
you’ve got a base line you can start moving forward.
This test provides a baseline. It covers 2 parts of the EI quadrant: Self-awareness and Self-management. Don’t forget that EI also includes Social awareness and Relationship management, but the starting point has got to be ‘know thyself’!
