Five Components of Emotional Intelligence at Work

Recently, I spoke at a significant healthcare organization on the importance of Emotional Intelligence at work. Like so many companies they are facing rapid change and employee burnout. Rather than forcing a new strategy or amping up goals and actions, they are prioritizing leadership development with an emphasis on the 5 components of Emotional Intelligence at work.

What We Know:

  • According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, Emotional Intelligence will be one of the top skillsets to develop and invest in to be successful.
  • 75% of careers are derailed today for reasons related to emotional self-management including interpersonal problems and the inability to handle stress and conflict. –Center for Creative Leadership

Take some time to discuss the importance of the 5 critical skills at work. A reminder that these are not soft skills but hard-edge leadership skills your team needs.

Here’s to your EI skills!
