Emotional Intelligence – Concept Summary The Intelligence Quotient as we know it began as a project for Albert Binet. He as tasked with creating a test to measure academic performance for school children to identify those who were falling behind. IT was not designed to identify high levels of intelligence. The test was later adapted by Lewis Terman to compare Mental Age to Chronological Age in children. Finally another improvement was offered that allowed a mathematical calculation using a statistical deviation to score adults. Emotional Intelligence as we are familiar with it today was formalized in the 1990s. Today there are standardized test that can score adults’ Emotional Quotient (EQ). Studies have shown that those with high EQs are more successful in business than those with high IQs. IQs are static and are basically set at birth or early childhood but EQs are dynamic and can be improved by adults who want to make the effort. There are four primary areas or functions in Emotional Intelligence. They are Self-Awareness, Self- Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management. In brief: Self-Awareness is the ability to recognize one’s feelings as they experience them. This is the keystone of EI. Self-Management is the ability to manage or handle one’s feelings so they are appropriate and bring about a positive effect. It is the ability to balance any excess emotion and channel that emotion. Social Awareness is the fundamental people skill and involves empathy. People who are more socially aware can navigate social situations better. Research has shown that 90% of the emotional message is non-verbal. Relationship Management is the ability to identify others’ emotions accurately and help them manage their emotion and interact professionally. It is an intelligent approach to understand how to navigate feelings of others while keeping you in check. This allows you to inspire others, shape encounters and put others at ease. All humans spiral through the various areas of Emotional Intelligence. The goal is to be so in touch with others’ emotions that you can stay more often in relationship management. Emotional Intelligence in the workplace includes the following actions: Sharing grievances or concerns as a polite and helpful critique. Done correctly this can increase productivity and job satisfaction. Create an atmosphere where diversity is valued – commons goals with diverse groups generate change over time. Effective Networking with EI is collaboration to bring groups together and harmonizing talents and skills to capitalize on positive results and relationships. With EI as your secret weapon you can influence views of others, provide more valuable solutions and earn a reputation of being a good leader.
