I use Emotional Intelligence in almost of my leadership development work. One of the questions that I often hear is “How do I know if I’m really Emotionally Intelligent?” My first response is that you absolutely have at least some degree of Emotional Intelligence because you’re asking the question. That shows that you have or want to have insight into the self.
But people are typically looking for more than that as a response. They’re looking for ways to measure their own Emotional Intelligence. My goal in this podcast is to review definitions of Daniel Goleman’s five original components of Emotional Intelligence and then to give you the hallmarks or indicators to reflect on. As you reflect, you’ll be able to think about results that you’re getting in your life and in your leadership.
