Course Description
Over the years, emotional intelligence—also known as EQ—has evolved into a must-have skill. Research by EQ provider TalentSmart shows that it’s the strongest predictor of performance, further illustrating why emotional intelligence is important. Employees with high emotional intelligence are more likely to stay calm under pressure, resolve conflict effectively, and respond to co-workers with empathy.
Keep in mind that while you might excel at your job technically, if you can’t effectively communicate with your team or collaborate with others, those technical skills can get overlooked.
Emotional intelligence can enhance your ability to manage interpersonal relationships, which is crucial for fostering positive team dynamics, empathy, and effective collaboration
We will focus on the following four core competencies of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) for understanding and implementation so that you can continue to advance your career and WashU:
- Self-awareness
- Self-management
- Social awareness
- Relationship management
