GROWING IN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Emotional Intelligence is becoming a hot topic in the business world. However, many people are unsure of what Emotional Intelligence actually is and how it can have an impact at work.

Emotions matter in your workplace.  Emotions affect workplace decisions and strategies every day.

Emotions influence your behaviours, decisions and performance at work

Ask yourself:

  • Have you ever decided not to appoint someone to a role           because something just didn't feel right'?
  • Would you ask your supervisor for more resources when         they are having a bad day'?
  • Do you take a different approach when dealing with an            upset student or team member?
  • How might you help motivate an under-performing team         member to succeed?

What is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional Intelligence involves a set of skills that define how effectively you perceive, understand, reason with and manage your own and others' feelings.

When applied to your work, Emotional Intelligence involves your capacity to think intelligently' with your own and others' emotions to intentionally and efficiently deliver individual and organisational outcomes.

A measurable difference

Research, through Genos and Swinburne University, has shown that emotional intelligence is related to many contemporary workplace variables, including:

  • Productivity and performance
  • Interpersonal effectiveness
  • Leadership capability
  • Sales performance
  • Teamwork
  • Customer service, and 
  • Job satisfaction.

The Genos model of emotional intelligence

We use the Genos EI model which is well researched and credentialed and Craig is a Genos accredited trainer and assessor. The Genos EI model is not a measure of your innate Emotional Intelligence. Instead it measures how often you demonstrate behaviours aligned to the four skills of Emotional Intelligence.  

Program Overview

Emotional Intelligence skills are fundamental to an individual's success at work and moreover, to their enjoyment and satisfaction in life. Improving Emotional Intelligence in the workplace is a critical success factor in today's rapidly changing business world. Workplace trends, including globalisation, increasingly diverse workforces, corporate mergers, and virtual workforces, all underscore the need for, and are positively impacted by, the development and application of emotional intelligence.
