This self-assessment tool is intended to get you to consider how well you possess the key

emotional competencies.

'Emotional intelligence' was initially popularized by Daniel Goleman in his 1995 book
of the same name. While intelligence, tenacity, determination, and vision—qualities
typically associated with leadership—are necessary for success, he discovered that they
are insufficient. True leaders also have high levels of emotional intelligence, which
includes:

 Self-awareness
The capacity to identify and comprehend one's own thoughts, feelings, beliefs,
desires, and behaviours is known as self-awareness. It requires understanding your own
personality, traits, flaws, and driving forces. Self-aware people have the capacity for
introspection, which allows them to consider their own actions and experiences.

 Managing Emotion
Being able to identify, comprehend, and successfully control one's own emotions
is referred to as managing emotions. It's a crucial facet of emotional intelligence that calls
for a variety of abilities and tactics for coping with both good and negative emotions.

 Motivating-Oneself
The capacity to generate the internal drive and passion required to pursue
objectives, finish tasks, or take action in spite of difficulties or barriers is known as self-
motivation. To stay devoted and focused on reaching your goals, you must discover the
motivation and willpower within yourself.

 Empathy
The capacity to comprehend and relate to the thoughts, feelings, and experiences
of another person is known as empathy. It entails identifying with and sharing in the
feelings and thoughts of others, which frequently results in feelings of connection,
empathy, and understanding. In human connections and communication, empathy is
crucial.

 Social Skill
The qualities and competences that allow people to engage, communicate, and
work effectively with others in a variety of social and interpersonal circumstances are
referred to as social skills or interpersonal skills. Forging and sustaining a positive social
network is crucial for both personal and professional success.
