Studies revealthe same traits over and over, and yet it is so hard for people to grasp.

Here it is again, so listen up!

When people are asked what traits and qualities they admire in their mentors and leaders, the typical responses are that they are caring, engaging, authentic, positive thinkers, creative, patient, empathetic, charismatic and thoughtful.

These are also competencies, traits or qualities that can be learned. For instance, if you are a parent, you are fully aware that you learned PATIENCE when you became a parent. Can "charisma" be taught? Yes. These are all emotional intelligence competencies, and I have worked with many people in these areas. You can only make it so far in a career field, or in relationships, if you do not have these qualities.

Let me help you with the EQ course, coaching,mentoring, or a seminar in the D. C. area. Email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc for more information. I have coached people all over the world in these important emotional intelligence competencies.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE TRAITS IS AN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE COMPETENCY THAT CAN BE LEARNED.

Great Leaders have Emotional Intelligence

Jumping on the Bandwagon, the Executive Leadership 360 Feedback Survey will now include emotional intelligence segments. According to their recent press realease, the ELS was created in 1989. The press release, The Booth Company Releases Updated Executive Leadership 360 Feedback Survey states that the "responsiblities of executives have evolved significantly since the ELS was created in 1989."

Well, probably not. Great leadership is still great leadership -- the same now as it has always been, and emotional intelligence has always been an integral part of it. It's just businesses recognizing the important of addressing, measuring and valuing it that has lagged.

Great leadership is what it always has been - see my articles on Napoleon, Peter the Great and others. It is heartening to see emotional intelligence being recognized. It will be even more heartening when adjectives such as "interesting model" are dispensed with. Great leadership is emotional intelligence in action.

From the article:

The everyday responsibilities of executives have evolved significantly since the ELS was created in 1989. Recent technological developments have led to greater amounts of communication, requiring executives to make decisions more frequently and within shorter timeframes.

Taking this into account, The Booth Company has included three new dimensions in the new
ELS: "Awareness of Others," "Self-Awareness" and "Self Management." These additions allow the executive to receive confidential feedback regarding his or her abilities to professionally interact with others, master personal impulses, and make rational choices in situations that often involve pressure and disagreement.

Evaluating such competencies has become an increasingly common industry practice in recent years, typically under the label of "emotional intelligence." Known as "E.Q." (Emotional Intelligence Quotient) - primarily to differentiate it from the more traditional intelligence assessment, I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) - emotional intelligence provides an interesting model to assess interpersonal leadership skills and rationality in pressured decision-making
situations.
