How to Develop Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence Is…

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand and manage our own
emotions; and in uence the emotions of others.

There are many models and de nitions existing today for Emotional Intelligence. IHHP has
conducted extensive research that spans across several years, and based on this knowledge,
created one simpli ed, day-to-day working de nition for Emotional Intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence Starts With Self-Awareness.

While many of us believe we are not
emotional beings, a closer look makes us
Emotional Intelligence - Building
Building…
… realize that we live in a constant emotional
state – sometimes angry, sometimes sad,
sometimes joyful, and sometimes
disappointed – but always operating in an
emotional state on some level.

That’s where self-awareness comes

in. Leading people isn’t about how
smart your are or whether you have the
most knowledge or best ideas. It is about how you handle pressure and how well connected to the
emotions that drive people’s behavior.

Insight into self-awareness starts here:

Ask your leader, a friend, peer mentor or even a direct report to give you honest and candid
feedback about your leadership
Take an EI360 assessment – there is no better way to gain awareness of the impact you are
having on people then getting feedback from them anonymously
Reach out to people and spent time with them to ask them how they felt I was showing up as
a leader. They key is to listen and not get defensive when they give you less than glowing
feedback
Attend an Emotional Intelligence training program to gain further awareness about how your
brain responds under pressure (like when if you get tough feedback), strategies to
manage those emotions, and tools to connect and coach others
Get a coach.   Good EQ coaches have an amazing way of asking questions that help you
realize your own impact and help you nd ways to improve

If that all sounds like too much, one simple step you can take is to do a free on-line
self-assessment. The key is to think about the questions from other people’s perspective and
answer them honestly.

The  rst step toward greater self-awareness is a tough one to take, but one of the most important
and most bene cial steps you will take in your life!
