“Emotional quotient is far more important than Intelligence quotient. We live with people, not with mathematics problems.”
This is the Era in which almost all of us are working with People more than machines or technology, hence live with technology is a different matter altogether. Working with People, Manage them is varied and quite challenging from working with technology. My today’s topic is based on our current working scenario and its challenges which I realize that every individual faces more or less. Yes, I am taking about Leader on the Scale of Emotions.
We all heard about Leadership and how to manage people. Learn many things for our betterment as a leader. Learn about how the different kind of people in our team or organization. But after learning these all somehow, we couldn’t get the sound result as we desire of dealing with people. I try to observe the behavioral pattern of many people and found that being a leader when it comes to change, we saw in front of the team or subordinates and in this we forget to see in the mirror. It means we forget to see on ourselves. And I think it is very important.Daniel Goleman very truly says that For Leaders, the first task in management has nothing to do with leading others, step one poses the challenge of knowing and managing oneself. And without doing this first step correctly knowingly or unknowingly we jumped into the managing the team or people. For being an effective leader, it is very important to become emotionally aware,stable and strong first.
In our life, Generally all the people know all the things but how many things we are really doing from them? There is a vast difference between “Knowing” and “Doing”. We know all the things but doing very less from them. For Example: Being a Manager, We all know that shouting on the team member or subordinate for any of his mistake is not require or not acceptable. We all know this right? But How many of us will remain calm in this situation? Actually, to know about any of the concept is easy but to practice the same is require a lot of pain and emotional strength. Aristotle write a wonderful line for this, “Anybody can become Angry that is easy but to be angry with the right person and to the right time and for right purpose and in the right way that is not within everybody’s power and is not EASY”.So Deal with the People more Effectively and Work smoothly, Every leader should develop the skill of emotional intelligence. How to control emotions and how and when to express, it is very important. But one thing is more necessary, is to know and aware about one self. Because knowing is the first step of doing any changes or improvement if you know about something there is a possibility that you will do it or change yourself but if you don’t know then there is no scope of any change or improvement. Our emotions need to be as educated as our intellect. It is important to know how to feel, how to respond and how to let life in so that it can touch you.
So, I am not going to tell you that how to be emotional intelligent but just want to expressed my view that, It is very important to be aware and control about ourselves because It takes something more than intelligence to act Intelligently and You all know what requires !!🙂
