The 6 Secrets of Great Emotional Intelligence -

The People Discovery E-Book entitled The 6 Secrets of Great Emotional Intelligence has just been published at www.lulu.com and www.amazon.co.uk.

As Leaders and Managers we know that emotional intelligence is key to getting and sustaining great results from our teams.

As a Leader and Manager for some 30 years, I have practiced and observed attitudes and behaviours which have been the most successful in getting the best out of a team. These attitudes and behaviours are most commonly adopted by people who have honed their emotional intelligence skills and have the best people skills as a result. I have practiced these in the latter years, and wished I had access to and learned them in the early years.

The Nine Attitudes are:

• Accepting people completely for who they are
• Always looking for the good in people, there is always some
• Dealing with negatives in an impersonal but practical way and getting over it!
• Not judging – we all make mistakes.
• Giving people the benefit of the doubt
• Listening to what people need and wherever possible – obliging
• Responding neutrally to anger or other attacking behaviour and helping the person to reframe it in a positive way.
• Pivoting negative situations to achieve a positive outcome.
• Caring about people, even when they were difficult.

You might be thinking that it all sounds unrealistic, given some of the people you might be managing. But I can guarantee that if you think about it enough, they are all attitudes or stances you would like people to take with you.

Unfortunately we aren’t born with an instruction manual and so navigating and improving our own emotional intelligence often comes through our own life experiences and self-reflection. However the good news is that there are some clear and easy steps to improving our own emotional intelligence and therefore that of your team and organisation.
