EQ As A Leadership Predictor Dr. Deepti Mankad, PhD
A study published in the recent issue of the California Management Review stated that “Emotional Intelligence will soon be the most desirable Job Skill” So, what is Emotional Intelligence? Emotional Intelligence (EI), commonly referred to as Emotional Quotient (EQ) is claimed to be the key to success. EI is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, and those of the people around you.
The five components of Emotional Intelligence
Self Regulate Self Awareness
Motivation
Social Skills
Empathy
1. Self-Awareness People with high EQ are usually very selfaware and understand their emotions, and because of this, they don't let their feelings rule them.
2. Self-regulation This aspect of EI involves the appropriate expression of emotion. Self-regulation includes staying in control, being flexible, coping with change, and managing conflict.
Being self-aware when you're in a leadership position means having a clear picture of your strengths and weaknesses and behaving with humility.
Leaders who regulate themselves effectively rarely verbally attack others, make rushed or emotional decisions, stereotype people, or compromise their values.
