COURSE OVERVIEW
Emotional intelligence has been described as:
- The ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict.
- The ability to understand and manage your own emotions, as well as recognize and influence the emotions of those around you.
Emotional intelligence may show up in the way a person practices self-awareness e.g., body language, communication. Also, a person may practice self-regulation by refraining from dominating a conversation, in meetings, listening actively. Furthermore, practicing social skills can be evidenced by participating in discussions.
According to the Harvard Business Review, “The most effective leaders are all alike in one crucial way: They all have a high degree of what has come to be known as emotional intelligence. It’s not that IQ and technical skills are irrelevant. They do matter, but…they are the entry-level requirements for executive positions.’’
