Greetings!
- Can people be trained to have a
better level of emotional intelligence?
- Coaching and one-to-one
specialized training may be effective.
- Successful leaders have long been
developing their levels of emotional intelligence.
A lot has been said regarding the fact that emotional
intelligence can't be taught. I've always disagreed with that
because once I became actively engaged in learning and applying the
concepts of psychological type theory in my business and personal life, I was
able to access the ability to respond appropriately to many situations and
people that had previously been difficult for me.
This month's article builds the case for expanding our
emotional intelligence through a deeper understanding and use of personality
type. Hopefully, it will energize all of you to want to learn more!

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ) AND PERSONALITY TYPE
|
|
|
|
The characteristics of Emotional Intelligence
- Self-awareness
- Emotional management
- Motivation
- Interpersonal sensitivity
- Ability to influence others
- Intuitiveness
- Consciousness
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is really a combination of a few
things. What makes you behave the way you do, what are the consequences?
What happens to your behaviors? If you are angry you can't change being
angry, but you can understand that you become irrational of deal badly
with others when you are angry. It's understanding all that and based on
that understanding having the ability to be able to do something about
it.
Part of it is, for want of a better word, self-
awareness: Let me be self-aware, let me know how my emotions impact
on my behaviors. Secondly, let me try and manage that and use that
knowledge to become more effective and the third piece is to understand
how other people react to situations and why they may be behaving the way
they do and then try to adapt my behavior to try and take that into
account.
An in-depth study and thorough understanding of
psychological type can aid in the development of your emotional
intelligence. Psychological type, as developed by Dr. Carl Jung, explores
people's preferences for four mental processes - Sensing, Intuition,
Thinking, and Feeling - and their tendency to focus more on the outer
(Extraverted) or inner (Introverted) world. These mental processes and
orientations work in a dynamic way to influence what people see and
evaluate in life, and this dynamic affects all their choices and actions.

What
clients are saying about us.....
The session that I led for our company's twenty Human
Resource & Training Professionals went very well and the feedback I
received was wonderful. The participants truly enjoyed discovering their
"type" and learning about their peers as well. They loved The
PEOPLE Process tools and said they made it easy to stay engaged and gave
them information in a clear and concise way. The session lasted about
2-1/2 hours and they were hungry for more! I referred them to the TPP
participant book for further reading. The learning session was indeed
"profound" for all the participants. As our organization
determines next steps for The PEOPLE Process, I will keep in touch. Mary
Ellen Higgins, SPHR, Director, Training & Development, ACCENT
