Personal Reflencement : Personal And Personal Values

Emotional intelligence or EQ is as important as intellectual intelligence because it helps a person understand themselves emotionally. An emotionally intelligent person can control how they deal with stress, which, consequently helps to become successful in several areas of life, such as work, relationships, and career. EQ helps you become aware of yourself mentally and to understand others socially. It impacts all of your life daily, from getting things done to helping friends and family or yourself emotionally. It also helps with being able to understand others and manipulate them for your gain, to get their trust and friendship to form healthy relationships.

Daniel Goleman describes emotional intelligence as "the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves and for managing emotion well in ourselves and in our relationships (Goleman, 2000).” Goleman goes on to explain that emotional intelligence can be broken down into two core competencies. These competencies include personal competence and social competence. Personal

The book, Emotional Intelligence 2.0, provides an alternative approach to how a person achieves success. This book does not focus on the conventional determinant of success, such as formal education and training, experience, and intelligence level (IQ). Although all these components contribute greatly to ones achievement of success, these factors are not the only factors to be considered in whether a person will be successful or not. This book focuses on the concept that it refers to as emotional intelligence (EQ), which is one’s ability to recognize and effectively understand his/her emotions in a productive and rational manner.

Having self awareness is a significant attribute to utilize when leading/managing others, interacting in social events and making personal decisions. Having the insight to distinguish your emotions, then using that knowledge to manage your behavior and relationships is being emotionally intelligent (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). After using the Emotional Appraisal Instrument, I learned that self-awareness is my strongest emotional intelligence (EI) skill and my weakest EI skill is social awareness (TalentSmart, Inc., 2016).

This paper will examine the author’s current strengths and weaknesses associated within the emotional intelligence skills which are: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management, and a number of associated competencies such as self-control, adaptability, and self-confidence by analyzing the author’s Emotional Intelligence Appraisal. The paper will provide the audience with an action plan for each emotional intelligence skill which needs improvement and will consist of a number of strategies that will improve the author’s overall emotional intelligence skills.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to manage emotions of yourself or others. It is very useful in any situations and having a lot of it is very good but there is a dark side. That is because EQ is like a double-edged sword. For instance, a person is crying and someone comes over and helps. The person that came is able to recognize and determine what to do. Furthermore, during an interview with Dan Goleman, “Godfather of Emotional Intelligence”, there was a highschool reunion and out of the group the most successful man wasn’t the smartest but the best one that

Emotional intelligence is conceptualized as a person’s ability to overcome stress, communicate effectively, understand others, cope with challenges, and solve conflicts by identifying, using, understanding, and managing their emotions positively (Gines, 2015). Emotional intelligence allows individuals to understand others, without necessarily talking to them. This understanding is vital since it influences the way we relate with other people. Emotional intelligence can be defined using four components which include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management (Segal, Smith, & Shubin, 2016). The essay focuses on these four components and the skills that help in building emotional intelligence.

Of the four categories, I scored the highest in the self-awareness category with a 91. This score shows that my ability to accurately perceive my emotions and stay aware of them as they happen strengthens my emotional intelligence. On the contrary, my self-management, social awareness, and relationship management scores were less than impressive. In order, I scored a 69, 67, and a 73 on these three sections of the test. The appraisal explains that scores between the 70-79 range can become strengths with a little improvement. Scores in the 60-69 range, however, need lots of improvement in order to strengthen ones EQ. For self-management, I agree that I sometimes struggle managing my emotional reactions. For example, making a bad grade on a test often causes me to develop anxiety. What shocked me the most was that my social awareness section received the lowest score. I always considered myself to be very good at picking up on other’s emotions, but this test showed otherwise. Thirdly, my relationship management presents with plenty of room for improvement. When I disagree with someone, I tend to immediately label that persons opinion as wrong before giving him a chance to explain his position. In conclusion, this test confirmed my need to become more aware of the emotions of those around me in order to strengthen my emotional

The results of my Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire were a coordinate pair of (6, 7), which placed me  in the sector of the circle attributed to a gamma alpha persona. This means that my social dexterity score is 7 and  my non‐cognitive self‐management personae score is 6. The quadrant and sector describes people with well‐ developed social dexterity and non‐cognitive self‐management skills. Feeling confident in my ability to employ  emotional and social intelligence, I can best leverage my limited time to develop stronger

One of the strengths I discovered thru self- assessment exercises was high emotional intelligence. It is important part of my character because it provides ability to accurately identify my own emotions, as well as those of others. Such a characteristic allows me to utilize emotions and apply them to tasks, like on the spot thinking and problem-solving. Additionally, it gives me opportunity to manage my feelings, including directing my own thoughts, as well as the talent to cheer up or calm down individuals. As an Employee with a high level of emotional intelligence I have a level self-awareness that helps me to understand co-workers and meet deadlines. I’m not bothered by client criticism and I remain focused on a task at hand to continue working on accomplishing my task, rather than becoming upset and discouraged.

"Emotional Intelligence is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel, and act. It shapes our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves. It defines how and what we learn; it allows us to set priorities; it determines the majority of our daily actions. Research suggests it is responsible for as much as 80% of the "success" in our lives." The Effective leader requires a high degree of Emotional Intelligence. In this study, the various skills of Emotional Intelligence can be related with real situations. The various skills of Emotional Intelligence are Self awareness, self regulation, motivation, Empathy, social skill. People with high self-awareness are also able

We often lack the skills to manage our emotions in the heat of the challenging moment we face. In ‘’Emotional Intelligence 2.0” by Patrick Lencioni he states that only 36 percent of the people we tested are able to accurately identify their emotions as they happen. This means that two thirds of us are typically controlled by our emotions and are not yet skilled at spotting them and using them to our benefit. If we all take a second to be mindfulness than just running through the flow, there will be less people being stress and suffering. Typically, the more intense your emotions are, the greater the likelihood that they will dictate your actions. In the words of Walpola Rahula, author of the “What the Buddha Taught,” mindfulness is simply observing, watching and examining, you are not a judge but a scientist” (1974,73). This means that mindfulness helps us observe are mental process as the same way a scientist would. No matter whether people measure high or low in EQ, they can work to improve it, and those who score low can actually catch up to their co workers. EQ is so critical to success that it accounts for 58 percent of performance in all types of jobs. discovered that people who are low in EQ and job performance can match their colleagues who excel in both solely by working to improve their EQ. Typically, the more intense your emotions are, the greater the likelihood that they will dictate your

“Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage our emotions and those around us, therefore, this quality gives individuals a variety of skills, such as the ability to manage relationships, navigate social networks, influence and inspire others. Every individual possesses different level, but in order for individuals to become effective leaders, they will need a high level of emotional intelligence. In today’s workplace, it has become a highly important

The book “Working with Emotional Intelligence” by Daniel Goleman deals with the emotional assets and liabilities of individuals in organizations. Emotional intelligence is traits that go beyond academic achievement or IQ. As a matter of fact he points out that high academic intelligence can sometimes stand in the way of emotional intelligence. Broadly speaking, emotional intelligence determines how well we handle difficult situation, which cannot be solved by logic, but more by a “feel” for the situation. These attributes are very hard to measure, which is why many standardized tests, whether academic or for employment, fail to measure these attributes, even though these are the one which determine

Goleman states, “Emotional aptitude is a meta ability, determining how well we can use whatever other skills we have, including raw intellect.” People that have high emotional intelligence are more likely to be satisfied and effective in their lives. Others who have trouble with this cannot manage themselves so their ability for successful work and clear thought are altered.
