Abstract

"What am I feeling right now? What do I want? How am I acting? What appraisals am I making? What do my senses tell me?" According to Hendrie Weisinger, author of Emotional Intelligence at Work: The Untapped Edge for Success, these are all questions you could be asking yourself if you are trying to boost your emotional intelligence. He suggests creating "a constructive internal dialogue" to manage your emotions so that they work for you--not against you. Recent studies indicate that intelligence and skills at work are not enough if we can''t manage the human side of the equation. However, emotional intelligence, or self-awareness of your own feelings, can be learned and in turn can benefit you and your organization. Those individuals who have emotional self-awareness are better leaders and organizers, and are generally more positive people, thereby boosting productivity in organizations.
