There’s an idea—particularly prevalent in some corporate cultures—that emotions don’t matter. That they have no place in the workplace.
And, that when they’re surfaced, they’re a sign of weakness.
Because myth-busting is VERY of the times, let’s chuck those ones into the past, shall we?
1) Humans + emotions are inextricably linked. If there are humans in your workplace, there are emotions in your workplace (COVID-19 note: ‘workplace’ exists in person, remotely online. Emotions don’t leave the workplace if there isn’t a workplace to go to)
2) Emotional insight + awareness is a strength exceptional, memorable, inspirational and engaging leaders leverage to activate their people in the direction of stellar results - creating psychologically safe environments people can thrive in along the way.
So - if emotions are inherent in the human experience, and there’s power in knowing how to work with the one’s you’ve got…
…what’s the difference between being emotional, and being emotionally intelligent?
And - how do you bridge the gap between the two?
The difference?
One (being emotional) is like being worked by your emotions. The other—being emotionally intelligent—is the ability to work WITH them.
And working WITH them is how to unlock their power.
