Emotional intelligence - how to develop some

Emotionally intelligent behaviour is recognised as an important factor in career success.
Emotional intelligence skills can be summarise in 4 areas: self awareness, awareness of others, self-management, influencing ability.

Self-awareness is the foundation of any emotionally intelligent behaviour without which you will not be aware of the impact your actions have on yourself and others.
On can work on it and improve it by:


  • practice self-reflection
  • understand your emotions without judgement, they are not good or bad but productive or unproductive
  • learn to recognise the effect of your emotions on you physically so that you can identify strong emotions before it takes over
  • listen and learn - ask for feedback on the impact your behaviour has on people and understand from the point of view of the "receiver"
