Emotional IQ and You #infographic

Published by Web Desk Tuesday, January 6, 2015

Emotional intelligence is an important skill to have when it comes to finding a job. The University of Maryland’s school of business (onlinemba) provides us with this infographic on emotional IQ and how it is more beneficial to improve your emotional intelligence than some of the other, more traditional business skills. In fact, 71% of hiring managers said it is more important than normal IQ. Why do they value emotional intelligence over regular intelligence? Those with emotional intelligence are typically more calm under pressure, resolve conflicts effectively, lead by example, are empathetic to their colleagues, and put more consideration into business decisions. Some of the top qualities of employees with high emotional intelligence are being able to admit and learn from mistakes, control emotions, listen, take criticism well, and are cool under pressure.

Ways to improve your emotional intelligence: Be mindful of your non-verbal communication. Reduce stress levels. Stay connected to your emotions. Practice effective conflict resolution and stay positive.
