Emotionally Intelligent Business Leaders
“The difference between stupidity
and genius is that genius has its limits.”
~ Albert Einstein
Intelligence
is a quality easily claimed but, it’s important to also include emotional
intelligence in your communication within the business world. Being a strong
leader requires intelligence in all aspects of the business world and while
having responsibility for hundreds of people, emotional intelligence is often
forgotten. The capacity to be aware of and control ones’ emotions and to handle
relationships with discipline, empathy and an open mind is often not natural
and is a learned and practiced skill.
Take a
few simple steps to become an emotionally intelligent business leader to
improve productivity, alliances and performance in your organization.
Being
self-aware of certain emotions and knowing the ways to handle those emotions
will help grow your emotional intelligence. Instead of reacting to a situation
in the heat of an argument, emotional intelligent leaders process their
thoughts and take time to respond with respect and without
negativity.
Emotional
intelligent business leaders develop an empathetic side to their reactions to
create a stronger workplace. Paying attention, listening and reacting in a
positive way can be the simplest and greatest key to success.
To thrive
in the workplace as a strong emotionally intelligent leader requires you to be
self-aware of your emotions while learning to connect with others on a personal
level. Evaluate your reactions and your consideration level and learn to
become an emotionally intelligent business leader.
