The 5 Components of Emotional Intelligence

Being a professional is not just meeting deadlines and spreadsheets. Building a cohesive team or acquiring that next client requires a human element. To go that extra step, you need the emotional intelligence to back you up. If we were to make things simple for you and sum up emotional intelligence to five components it would be:

1.Self-awareness

It’s to be aware of yourself and understanding what shortcomings you have as a person. You are able to recognise the effect you have on others and you are open to constructive criticism.

2. Self-regulation

Having the ability to express your emotions and control how you express them is underrated. Self-regulation means you can identify your emotions and communicate them constructively. You are calm in chaotic situations and can influence others positively.

3. Motivation

Emotionally intelligent people are naturally self-motivated, and have a higher threshold for disappointments and failure.

4. Empathy

It’s knowing the difference between listening to another’s story and actually putting yourself in their shoes to feel compassionate.

5. Social Skills

Emotional intelligence is key to good interaction with other people. People with high EQ exhibit great interpersonal skills and find it easy to maintain strong relationships.

These five components are essential to emotional intelligence and without empathy for others, you are still at a loss with your company in the long-run.
