How do you factor in the Emotional Intelligences (their presence and absence) among your
team members? Is it possible? If you do not think so, explain why.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability an individual or group use to sense, understand,
manage, and reason with emotions (Casper, 2002). Emotions could be a source of information,
energy and motivation that you or your team needs. Several researches have been done to
identify the importance of emotional intelligence in the workplace. Project managers and project
team needs to be high in EI to be effective in their work.
One of the benefits of EI is ability to understand your emotions and the emotions of others
(Casper, 2002). This will help you remove the barriers when working with other and create a
platform for communication. Additionally, having high EI will allow you to be more authentic
and build relationship with other people. These are very crucial skills that any project manager
needs to have. This is especially true when working with teams from diverse backgrounds and
culture.
Emotional intelligence is believed to be vital in how workers manager conflicts and stress.
Having high emotional quotient (EQ) helps people to be able to solve conflicts in a more
amicable manner by understanding and externalizing their emotions. Consequently, this would
avoid time that would have been wasted in resolving conflicts and meetings. The current
pandemic and economic situations is putting more stress on workers, hence having high EI is
critical now than ever.
If you believe you can explain what you would do to take advantage of it.
In order to take full advantage of EI in my work I first focus on self-improvement. As project
manager change should start from me then to my project team. Emotional intelligence can be
manifested in three ways these are self-awareness, self-management, and self-motivation. Self-
awareness it ability to evaluate your thoughts, emotions and actions based on your internal
standards. Self-awareness brings responsibility to every action and the need to have an internal
standard.
Self-awareness helps us to identify and understand our emotions, become authentic and receptive
to feedback (Duval & Wicklund, 1972). Project managers need to consistently check their
team members? Is it possible? If you do not think so, explain why.
