III. Reading “ Emotional Intelligence”

Paragraph 1

In a famous experiment, a group of four year-olds were left alone with candy and they were told that they could not eat any
until the adult returned. Years later, when the children were grown-ups, the researchers did a follow-up to the experiment. It
turned out that children who resisted the temptation became more successful later in life. Traditionally, psychologists
described intelligence in terms of problem-solving and memory. This test shows the importance of another kind of
intelligence, so-called emotional intelligence. IQ tests are only one way to see how successful someone may become in life.
Social and emotional abilities seem even more important.

Paragraph 2

Emotional intelligence is a buzz word that is often heard. So, what does it really mean? The term ‘emotional intelligence’
was coined in 1990. Emotional intelligence has to do with knowing when to express emotions and knowing when to control
them. Empathy is a particularly important part of emotional intelligence. This is basically the ability to recognise other
people’s emotions.

Paragraph 3

It is necessary though to make a distinction between emotional intelligence and emotional competence. Let me illustrate this
with an example. We already mentioned empathy as the ability to understand what someone else is feeling. Emotional
competence would then mean transforming this into a skill. Empathy can actually be used to influence other people’s
behavior. Obviously we are talking about influence in a positive manner as opposed to manipulation.

Paragraph 4

Emotional intelligence is important for a successful performance at work but how can it be promoted? First and foremost, the
competencies that are important are different from job to job, so it is essential to know what these are for your field. Self-
awareness is here the core competence to develop. So employees should learn how their feelings and behavior affect
themselves and others. After that, look at the individual and try to find out if they have the necessary social skills for a
particular job. Then, share this information with the individual and when doing so, try to be as clear as possible. Always
conduct feedback in a constructive manner because then it is more likely to be taken on board. Another advantage of
constructive criticism is that it minimizes defensiveness.

Paragraph 5

Hiring competent trainers is key. Good trainers have empathy and are genuinely caring. They should adopt a step-by-step
approach because a change in behaviour is more likely to happen if it is manageable and achievable. Trainers should provide
ongoing feedback and help develop the skill of self-reflection. If there is no follow-up training, then the whole process is
likely not to be taken seriously.
