In this podcast, Michael discusses the Intrapersonal elements of Emotional Intelligence and explains their significance for a leader who wants to drive higher levels of Employee Engagement. Intrapersonal qualities of Emotional Intelligence are all about how the individual relates to themselves. The attributes measured are: Self-Regard, Emotional Self-Awareness, Assertiveness, Independence and Self-Actualisation. Before a leader communicates with their team, what do they say to themselves? This is the focus of Intrapersonal Emotional Intelligence. How you relate to yourself has consequences for how you relate to others. Self Regard. How does the individual perceive themselves and their own success-rate? What are the implications of a leader’s own Self-Regard for the team they manage? Self Awareness. This describes the extent to which the individual is aware of their own emotions. Someone with a good level of emotional Self-Awareness has the ability to recognise their own emotional state, and consequently control it appropriately for different situations. Assertiveness. This measures the extent to which the individual gives themselves permission to speak and the effort they make to ensure their point of view is communicated and understood. This is a vital skill for managers. Independence. To what extent are you influenced by the emotions of others? Is your ability to communicate an important message compromised by your awareness of the emotional impact the message will have on others? Self-Actualisation. How do you feel about your performance in relation to the goals you set yourself? How realistic are your goals in relation to your abilities? Can you map out a pathway to success? As a leader, can you set realistic goals for your team, and see them acheived? This the first of five podcasts discussing different aspects of Emotional Intelligence specifically in relation to driving Employee Engagement. Join in the discussion!
