Emotional Intelligence For Stress Free Leadership

What if you could leverage every emotion as a springboard to higher performance? In a world where change is accelerating and competition is intensifying, leaders must be able to meet challenges and adversity with composure and resourcefulness -- while keeping their people engaged and aligned. To do this, emotional intelligence (EI) is a must. The idea that EI is the foundation of effective leadership is not new. What is new is the existence of a reliable method for systematically increasing EI. Building on recent discoveries in the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and tested with nearly a thousand people, the authors lay out a straightforward approach to developing EI. In contrast to other books on EI that view emotions as irrational drivers of reactive behavior, this book demonstrates that all emotions contain valuable guidance on how to improve your performance. The authors provide the equivalent of "emotion-decoder rings" that show you how to exploit frustration to achieve goals, anxiety to mitigate risks, and other common workplace emotions that drive business performance. Stress, the authors'' show, is not caused by what''s happening in the world nor by your own emotions. Stress is caused by fighting against your emotions instead of working with them to improve your performance. The authors back this up by showing that stress results from tolerating tension, reactivity, negativity, powerlessness, and reluctance -- and that these five killers of effective leadership are all signs that you are fighting against your own emotions. Then how do you work with your emotions? Learn TENOR, a proven 5-step method that will help you: Go from feeling stressed to being grounded, composed, accountable, resourceful, and committed. Translate your painful emotions into performance data --and use this vital data to systematically improve how you perform. Apply these techniques to reducing stress and improving performance in those around you. Praise for the TENOR Method Whether you''re an executive seeking to improve your decision-making and leadership skills, a manager seeking to raise the performance of your team, a buyer of corporate training programs seeking an EI solution that delivers tangible business results, or a coach seeking to acquire a powerful new tool -- this book has something for you. "One of the biggest benefits is stress management. As opposed to emotions being a source of stress to be avoided, now they are sources of wisdom. So you don''t have to be afraid that your emotions are going to get out of control, but instead, sit with them and actually encourage them to come forward, and then use them more effectively. It''s a way of managing stress that people haven''t had access to in the past." Terry Hildebrandt, Ph.D., Leadership Consultant "There''s been some real positive changes in my ability to process and understand what''s happening around me, why other people are reacting to my decisions or my statements in the way they are, why I feel emotionally unsettled or confused or angry or otherwise upset about something that''s happening." Jason Marsden, Executive Director, nonprofit "When my people are struggling, when there are emotions coming up that are derailing their ability to do everyday tasks, I take them through TENOR. And that translates to them understanding the emotion. I get them to understand that the emotion is a message and it''s the energy they need to take care of the task that''s in front of them. This translates into tangible results." Greg Sutera, Division Manager, financial services "It''s a logical process. There''s nothing here that''s woo-woo. Every emotion is decoded for a specific need that you are not on track to meet. This leads to faster and higher quality decisions." Andrea C. Zintz, Ph.D., Executive Coach

"Tom was a young engineer employed at one of the country's largest steel companies. He had been an outstanding individual performer, and now he was a new manager, leading a team responsible for producing steel for a major automobile company. After just one week on the job, Tom and his team met with over 20 engineers from that other company. It was a rude awakening. I sat in a room with maybe 20 or 25 of their engineers for the annual quality evaluation of suppliers. And I learned for the first time that we were in the bottom of the bottom quartile as a supplier. We had lousy quality, we had lousy invoicing, we had lousy on-time delivery. And this was my first general manager role! I had grown up as an engineer. And how did Tom respond to this unexpected shock? I had a holy shit moment! I had been in the job literally a week. So part of it was, 'Oh my God, what the hell am I going to do?' Also I thought about how my guys had been in the business for a while, and I thought, 'What the hell have you been doing?' And I was thinking, 'I'm going to clean house!' But then... I've learned that you just can't react viscerally every time something comes up because it just scares people away. So Tom listened attentively as the engineers from the auto company presented their litany of complaints. When they finally finished, he stood up and said, "I wouldn't blame you if you fired us as a supplier. But if you give us a chance to fix these problems, I guarantee you that that we will not have this kind of meeting next year." When Tom met with his team the next morning to discuss the situation, he started by just listening to them. They went on for some time complaining about how the company and their previous boss had made it impossible for them to provide good products and service. Rather than disagree with them or join in pointing fingers at others, Tom listened. "I didn't think about it at the time, but that first couple of hours was very cathartic for them. My focus was not on beating anyone up but rather, what can we do to fix this?" The team responded positively to Tom's approach. The next year when they met, the auto company told Tom that they "never saw any business turn around that quickly in one year." As a result, they began giving Tom's company more business, and Tom went on to a distinguished career, eventually becoming one of his company's top executives"--

"...success at work is 80% dependent on emotional intelligence and only 20% dependent on IQ," HR magazine, November 1997. If we are aware of emotions, there is the question of managing them. This needs some elaboration. We do not generally control all our emotions consciously, but we are often required to control certain emotions on certain occasions. This control of behaviour is inculcated in us while we grow up in a community. Hence, as cultured and civilized beings, we do learn to control some emotions on some occasions. However, this is part of being shaped by the society or community. We do not make conscious efforts to control extreme joy or extreme grief deliberately. The book talks practical aspects of how Emotions can be managed well.

For many decades, the conventional wisdom was that emotion has no place in the work world, and the ideal leader is one who approaches problems rationally and unemotionally. However, the reality is that emotion is inevitable when a group of people come together for an extended period of time to work on challenging tasks, and if used effectively, a leader's moods and emotions can be a plus rather than a minus. This book describes how 25 outstanding leaders used emotional intelligence to deal with critical challenges and opportunities. Featuring commentary from the leaders themselves describing how they handled each situation, it helps managers better understand not just what emotional intelligence is, or how to measure it, or how it is linked to bottom-line results: it also shows how real leaders used their emotional intelligence to deal with real situations. The book distills the leaders' experiences into nine strategies that can help any leader or potential leader to be more effective. Each chapter concludes with activities that help readers to apply immediately each of those strategies.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Health - Stress management, , course: Research Paper, language: English, abstract: The desideratum of the discourse is aimed to determine stress management and emotional intelligence at the workplace, especially with a global pandemic at hand. The global pandemic Coronavirus has arguably ushered in stress and global crisis in the economy and health sector. The crisis results from the collision of vulnerabilities and specific trigger events. The crisis triggers are unpredictable and predicting the timing of a crisis is a fool ‘s errand. Anyone can become splenetic that is easy. However, to be ferocious with the right staff, to the right extent, at the correct time, for the correct purpose, and correctly, this is not burdensome. Emotional intelligence has been demonstrated to be one of the essential determinants for effective leadership. First-line supervisors who appreciate and employ their emotional intelligence in the workplace are more procumbent, and recumbent to retain their staff, enjoy greater collaboration, commitment, and to experience increases in co-worker performance. Academic intelligence has infinitesimal to do with emotional life. The sagacity among us can founder on the shallow of unbridled passions and boisterous impulses; people with high IQ can be remarkedly poor pilots of their private lives. To know that employees are valedictorian is to know they are vastly good at achievement as evaluated by grades. It does not unravel about how they boomerang to the vicissitudes of life. Emotionally intelligent women employee, by juxtaposition, be inclined to be assertive and express their sentiments directly, and to feel unequivocal about themselves; life holds nuts and bolts for them. Like the men, they are cordial, gregarious, and express their ethos appropriately; they roll with punches well to stress. We discovered that 68% are extremely and highly worried of the devastating effects of the pandemic of mass destruction. A stress prevention strategy coupled with coping strategies such as the employment of Wellness programs, breathing, peer support, counselling, religion, exercising, encouraging holiday to the beach and meditation to be employed by Secretaries. Cognitive coping and active coping strategies can be encouraged to Secretaries.

As part of the series Leadership and Executive Coaching, Corporate Emotional Intelligence is a seminal work for business communication, management and organisational behaviour in the 21st Century, setting a new precedent for business leadership and management books. It analyses how human behaviour is conditioned within corporate cultures, how managers come to adopt unconscious controlling habits that are counter-productive and which create cultures of fear. It shows how through the art of coaching and mentoring, breaking habits and personal development, transformational leadership within teams can result and, through theory and practise, shows us how to lead when managing people in the business environment. Unique to this leadership coaching book is the introduction of the Corporapath- the Corporate Hostage and to the anxiety disorder CTSD - Corporate Traumatic Stress Disorder, yielding a profound new level of self-awareness for all corporate citizens. Success now requires a different kind of business intelligence: IQ + EQ is no longer sufficient. We now need CEQ - Corporate Emotional Intelligence - the ability to read, understand and manage the psychological states and behaviours that are unique to corporate cultures and emotionally intelligent leadership.

Do you have what it takes to succeed in your career? The secret of success is not what they taught you in school. What matters most is not IQ, not a business school degree, not even technical know-how or years of expertise. The single most important factor in job performance and advancement is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is actually a set of skills that anyone can acquire, and in this practical guide, Daniel Goleman identifies them, explains their importance, and shows how they can be fostered. For leaders, emotional intelligence is almost 90 percent of what sets stars apart from the mediocre. As Goleman documents, it's the essential ingredient for reaching and staying at the top in any field, even in high-tech careers. And organizations that learn to operate in emotionally intelligent ways are the companies that will remain vital and dynamic in the competitive marketplace of today—and the future. Comprehensively researched, crisply written, and packed with fascinating case histories of triumphs, disasters, and dramatic turnarounds, Working with Emotional Intelligence may be the most important business book you'll ever read. Drawing on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and studies in more than 500 organizations, Goleman documents an astonishing fact: in determining star performance in every field, emotional intelligence matters twice as much as IQ or technical expertise. Readers also discover how emotional competence can be learned. Goleman analyzes five key sets of skills and vividly shows how they determine who is hired and who is fired in the top corporations in the world. He also provides guidelines for training in the "emotionally intelligent organization," in chapters that no one, from manager to CEO, should miss. Working with Emotional Intelligence could prove to be the most important reference for bottom-line businesspeople in the first decades of the 21st century.
