The Importance of Emotional Intelligence in the Corporate World
When dealing with people, remember you are not
dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion - Dale Carnegie.
We always hear people complaining about topics
related to physical health issues in corporate life, as their Executive
Office Chairs and Mesh Chairs
are not comfortable, or because of their Executive
Office Chairs, the sense of uncomfortability is occurring with many
health issues on the rise. However, nobody talks about the Emotional level of
concern on the rise. Emotional intelligence is not a new word. Everyone has
heard of it. In general terms it is the sum of all the capabilities which a
person possesses to control his/her own outlook and emotions. And through this
he made a perception of the people around and reacted accordingly.
It is the ability of a person to recognise his
own emotions and the way they will affect others.
Self-Reliance
The aptitude to control moods, and to think
before acting
Internal Motivation
When an individual is driven to do work or
follow goals for his personal reasons and satisfaction. And not in the greed of
rewards.
Understanding
Good leader and team working involves
understanding others feeling, motivation.
Social Skills
The aptitude to manage relationships and form
networks.
There is no doubt in this that emotional
intelligence is the valuable asset of a workplace. In the workplace there is
always a need for a motivated employee, an employee who possesses good
leadership qualities and also knows very well how to work in a team and how to
build a good team and team spirit among the members.
The other
main responsibilities of an employee in an organization are to collaborate with
others, manage work-related stress, resolve conflicts within workplace
relationships, and learn from previous interpersonal mistakes. A business will
never run smoothly if its employees don’t possess these qualities. It doesn’t
matter how intelligent they are, how much IQ they have, unless and until they
have good EQ.
Now
companies have started hiring people based on their EQ. There are various
psychological tests which companies take while hiring to check the level of
emotional intelligence. They also add lie – detector techniques to make sure
that no one is lying and giving only honest answers.
This
doesn't mean high emotional intelligence is a must for all jobs. Various
studies have proved that for some jobs which require dealing with lots of
people for example sales and marketing needs a person with high emotional
intelligence for sure. But for jobs which are more individualistic such as
accountant and research scientist high EQ is not that important.
On the
other hand, it has also been found that people who work alone but possess high
EQ work may perform at a lower level with those who have average EQ. The reason
behind this is they are more concerned about other's emotions and feelings.
Managing EQ
Is a psychological process - It's just the communication between the rational
and emotional brain. The information first reaches the emotional brain and in
1/30 th part of a second it reaches the rational mind. It's all about how well
we manage this mind and how we react to the emotional brain. There is also
plenty of training available nowadays to improve the emotional quotient. One
just needs to identify where he is lacking and what actually he needs.
