WELCOME
Welcome to the Emotional Intelligence at
Work program. This course was designed
for leaders like you to provide you with
enhanced skills for use during all your
workplace interactions. Emotional
intelligence is the capacity to understand
and manage your emotions. The skills
involved in emotional intelligence are
self-awareness, self-regulation,
motivation, empathy, and social skills.
Embracing the nuances of human
emotion in the workplace can have
pragmatic benefits, such as better
collaboration among employees and a
happier workplace. Every day we make
emotionally charged decisions: we feel
plan A is better than plan B and we
sometimes make choices based on our
emotions or gut feelings. For emotional
intelligence to be effective, it must start
with yourself. You cannot distill or
enhance other people’s well-being,
improvement and sense of self without
first understanding how you operate on
an emotional level. What distinguishes
leaders is usually their level of emotional
intelligence and it is those skills which
help to develop a more effective
workplace.
