The ability to understand and work with others sets the best leaders apart and leads to success – that is where emotional intelligence comes in. Leaders who believe they can succeed by relying solely on their intellect and years of experience are missing a huge opportunity.
Each of the 4 Pillars of Emotional Intelligence CAN be developed and improved upon. Investing what is needed to increase each of these areas can have a profound and lasting impact on your leadership success.
What Are the 4 Pillars of Emotional Intelligence?
1. Self-Awareness
- How did I contribute to the problem?
- What am I feeling right now and how is it impacting this situation?
- What are my 3 greatest strengths?
2. Managing Emotions
- How can I express my frustration with my co-worker?
- What can I do to stay engaged in this meeting?
- How do I tell my boss I don’t like his idea?
3. Social Awareness
- What strengths does this person have that the team can leverage?
- Why does he get so angry when I bring up that topic?
- How does my behavior impact others?
4. Relationship Management
- Develop and nurture strategic relationships
- Collaborate with diverse teams
- Effectively navigate high-stakes conversations
