You’ve leveraged your education, professional experience, hard work, and business abilities to get to this point in your career. Now you’re responsible for leading a team in achieving your firm’s target goals and objectives. Did you know that there’s another skill that will be critical to your continued success and advancement? It’s called Emotional Intelligence (EQ), and it’s a big business topic these days.

• State the emotional intelligence model 

• List the benefits of emotional intelligence

In this lesson, we will study the first two steps of Goleman’s four components of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and self-management. As per Goleman, self-awareness is the building block of all other competencies. Without recognizing what you are feeling, you cannot proceed to other competencies. It helps you to handle your emotions in order to avoid its interference in work and use these emotions to facilitate and recover from emotional distress. Self-management flows from self-awareness. It helps to understand situations from others’ perspective and to cultivate relationships.

• Manage yourself through self-awareness 

• Establish self-control through self-management

As with many business practices, hiring techniques have been affected dramatically by the Internet. “Surprise” interview questions are now available on hiring websites, such as Glassdoor.com and Indeed.com. Candidates can practice their responses via video coaching until they are tweaked to perfection. And in the current job environment, the competition for great employees is strong. You have to move quickly and analyze swiftly to capture the best candidates for your organization.       

This video discusses some pre-interview, interview, and post-interview guidelines that will help you design and develop a winning hiring process. We begin with what to do before you’ve even met your ideal candidate and progress all the way to planning for their successful post-hire on-boarding and retention. 

• List the pre-interview tasks   

• Prepare for the interview  

• Identify the post-interview tasks

Your talent is your most important resource. Deploying it to implement different methods of coaching will not only help you to strengthen your team’s abilities, but also your own leadership skills. No matter where you are, no matter how many people you put together on a team, you will always experience the same phenomenon. Some team members will perform above expectations while others will perform at an average or standard level, and some will perform at substandard levels. Coaching is a performance process with lots of actions and steps. Let’s take a look at some of the ways to coach your team and how you can make the most of these opportunities.

• Identify how to coach the low performing employees 

• Implement the techniques to coach the average performing employees 

• Coach the high performing employees 

• Meet the challenges of coaching remote employees

We know how important it is for us all to do what we can to ensure an effective transition for ourselves and our teams back to work. The landscape of the workplace has and will inevitably continue to change and today’s ‘new normal’ may not be tomorrow!

In this lesson, we will study social awareness and relationship management that fall under the heading of “Social Competence” in Bradberry and Greaves’ model of emotional intelligence. Social awareness is the ability to use empathy and active listening to understand others better. Leaders with strong social awareness are not only able to read their own emotions precisely but are also able to interpret others emotions accurately. Relationship management is using all of your EQ skills to establish solid relationships and manage your interactions with others.

• Define social awareness  

• Build relationships with employees to enhance business outcomes

It is a law of nature, if you work with people, you’re going to have conflict. When people with different viewpoints, backgrounds, personalities, work ethics, and industry experience come together, discord and differences of opinion are inevitable. Wise leaders accept that conflict is a part of work, they anticipate it, and they have a plan to address it. Effective conflict resolution takes practice. You may want to ask an experienced colleague, your HR department, or your manager for suggestions on dealing with this issue. Just realize that while you can’t avoid conflict entirely, you can establish an environment and a process that minimize the damage conflict can cause. 

If managed well, conflict can lead to innovation, stronger teams, and greater personal development—for you and your employees. 

• Become aware of workplace conflicts 

• Set a protocol to handle conflicts
