It’s Not About You: Emotional Intelligence and Communication
For many years in my profession I have suffered an “identity crisis” and often felt on the defensive, especially in the beginning of my career in the 80s. My field of work, degrees and training are in communication and were referred to in corporate America as “soft skills.” There is nothing soft about being able to make a connection with a client and close a multimillion dollar deal, right? I felt the value and weightiness of such a critical link to our success was being underplayed and diminished.
Every day you will engage with people with all levels of emotional smarts which will require you to be able to perceive, interpret and respond to others’ emotions. Some people miss the cues and opportunity to engage successfully. It happens to all of us.
Emotionally engaged people tune into others’ cues, especially nonverbal cues like facial expressions. Noticing the expression is not enough. The next step is the ability to empathize, a fundamental to good relationships.
Is it a surprise that digital communication creates so many communication breakdowns? Texting and email only allow the transmission of words which is simply not enough. They can be difficult to interpret and leave many issues open to creating more problems.
The ability to empathize and “read” people emotions can be learned. I highly recommend beginning with Daniel Goleman’s pioneering books. |
