WHY EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS IMPORTANT IN LEADERSHIP
An article by Lauren Landry in Harvard Business School Online (updated in August 2023) addresses the soaring importance of emotional intelligence training:
“…The technical skills that helped secure your first promotion might not guarantee your next. If you aspire to be in a leadership role, there’s an emotional element you must consider. It’s what helps you successfully coach teams, manage stress, deliver feedback, and collaborate with others…It’s called emotional intelligence and is one of the most sought-after interpersonal skills in the workplace. In fact, 71 percent of employers value emotional intelligence more than technical skills when evaluating candidates.”
The article continues, “Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to understand and manage your emotions, as well as recognize and influence the emotions of those around you…Research by EQ provider TalentSmart shows that emotional intelligence is the strongest predictor of performance. Employees with high emotional intelligence are more likely to stay calm under pressure, resolve conflict effectively, and respond to co-workers with empathy…One of the most common indicators of low emotional intelligence is difficulty managing and expressing emotions. You might struggle with acknowledging colleagues' concerns appropriately or wrestle with active listening. Consider the relationships you have with your co-workers. Are your conversations strained? Do you repeatedly blame others when projects don’t go as planned? Are you prone to outbursts? These are all signs of a lack of emotional intelligence…It's important to cultivate social skills by understanding and practicing empathy and the core components of emotional intelligence.”
