EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE OR
EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE OF NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
is the ability to identify, assess, and control the EMOTIONS of oneself,
of others, and of groups. In fact, Emotional Intelligence is a skill (a
learnt ability) and not a form of intelligence (as widely perceived).
Maybe Emotional Smartness would be a more apt
name than Emotional Intelligence (EI).
Nevertheless, Emotional
Intelligence is the ability to; - perceive emotion, - integrate emotion
to facilitate thought, - understand emotions and to - regulate emotions
to promote personal growth.
Emotional competence
refers to one's ability to express or release one's inner feelings
(emotions). It also determines one's ability to effectively and
successfully lead. It has shown to be the single biggest predictor of
workplace performance -far higher than IQ (Bradberry and Greaves).
Emotional competence has also been shown to correlate to enhanced
empathy, higher stress tolerance, greater flexibility to change, and
even better health and recovery from illness.
The four core skills of
Emotional competence
- are similar to those in the relational wisdom paradigm:
self-awareness, self-management,
social-awareness, and relationship-management. People’s
beliefs and values, which can be tied directly to religious beliefs, can
also have a significant bearing.
The need to control
NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
Unresolved, uncomfortable, powerful negative emotions triggered by a
specific stressful event/situation can displace the memory of other
positive emotions that may have generated a more beneficial result in
the past in a similar situation. This can lead to an inability to
process emotional clues and control the negative emotions at work.
Repeated similar events/situations can cause these negative emotions to
surface and possibly sabotage an individual’s performance or actions.
ORGANIZATIONAL BOTTOM
LINE: TOWARDS A NEW ERA
- Current ground breaking research on
emotions at work has profound bottom line implications to all
organizations. Professionals engaged in people
development programs have long over-looked the key variable influencing
organization and individual performance. Specifically, most are not
aware that behavioral change happens mostly by engaging a person’s
emotions and feelings.
Emotions have widespread
effects in organizations and underlie a broad range of dynamics in
organizations. Today, the study of emotions in organizations is rapidly
advancing with new workplace behavioral change models built around emotions.
For over 25 years
the Behavioral Coaching Institute's speciality, advanced Coach training
courses have helped
professional people developers in the workplace to understand and
appreciate that emotions are the key
underlying energizing and motivating force for change and growth.
Examination of the role of emotions in
organizational performance, innovation and creativity is
essential to being able to manage both individual development, group
development and the
organizational bottom-line.
The Behavioral Coaching Institute's Fast-tracked,
Online Master Coach training Program takes
an
Emotion Focused Behavioral Coaching approach.
Emotion Focused Behavioral Coaching (EFBC)
People live in a constant struggle of trying to manage and make sense of
their emotions. In an Emotion Focused Behavioral Coaching approach
emotion is seen as foundational in the construction of the self and is a
key determinant of self-organization. Personal meaning and growth cannot be
achieved without thorough exploration and re-organization of our emotional
schema and experiences. An Emotion-Focused Behavioral Coaching Approach shows people how
to become aware of how
they process emotion and how they can generate alternative emotional
responses TO GENERATE MORE PRODUCTIVE RESULTS.
Emotion Focused Behavioral Coaching is a collaborative effort
between a trained
practitioner/coach working with clients to help them harness the power
of their emotions to
solve their problems and reach their goals. The approach uses a range of
empirically proven behavioral change models and techniques that produces
sustainable change in a relatively short time frame.
