Emotional Intelligence

Description

The rules are changing. Success used to be measured by what you knew or how smart you were. But today it is how you handle yourself and your relationships at work. Working in complete harmony with various types of individuals in the workplace is not always easy. Our ability to deal effectively with our emotions in the work place is critical to our success as managers and employees.Today’s fast pace and high rate of change requires different skills for survival and success. Higher stress levels require better handling abilities. Being able to coach and mentor relationships at work are particularly essential in times like these. Expertise in a particular field plays a lesser role while internal qualities like resilience, initiative, optimism and adaptability are taking on new value.
