Emotional Intelligence

Until I recently came across a site that discussed emotional intelligence more in depth, I never realized how much of an affect it has on determining the success that we have in life and how important it is to access and develop it. For instance, in workplace, people are looked at not only on how smart they are and what they can do, but also on how they handle themselves in different situations. If you're not familiar with emotional intelligence, it focuses more on the emotional competencies based on self awareness, self motivation, managing relationships, etc. There is a new system, the 360 degree feedback system (Appraisal360 Emotional Intelligence tool), that helps people build their perception and gather feedback. As an employer, this tool would come in very handy, and would help your staff develop emotional intelligence in the workplace. If you're interested in learning more about how develop Emotional Intelligence with 360 degree feedback , check out the press release below as well as the site. This is a paid post.

Press Release:
Imagine that you lived on your own in the world and you were the only person to give you feedback. It would be a bit of a lonely life and you wouldn't learn much. The fact is that the only real way to assess your emotional intelligence is to get feedback from people who know you and the way you interact. Developing the emotional intelligence of your workforce is good for business. It's the vital quality that underpins good teamwork, good industrial relations and makes the difference between having an inspired workforce and an average one. Just imagine a contented workforce which ran smoothly and efficiently with a minimum of fuss. using 360-degree feedback as part of your appraisal and development process you can bring some serious benefits to both your business and your people. People gain much better self awareness by learning how their colleagues perceive them . People generally like 360 degree feedback. They take things less personally and are more likely to take on board what's been said. It helps people understand how their behaviour influences both their own personal effectiveness and how they impact the smooth running of the organisation. It improves communication within the organisation and encourages a more open culture where giving and receiving constructive feedback is the norm. It is a very powerful driver for change both for individuals and organisations as a whole. The Appraisal360 system has no setup costs and is targeted at Employers, HR Professionals and Individuals More information at: http://www.appraisal360.co.uk/Emotional-Intelligence-Homepage-66
