Using your emotional intelligence in the workplace
At The School of Life we ​​believe that emotional growth is crucial for success. As you progress in your career, the factors that determine success and job satisfaction change. In the beginning you still rely on your knowledge, your boundless drive and your curiosity. Subsequently, aspects such as vision, influencing and the ability to enter into valuable relationships become increasingly important. Emotional skills are at least as important as hard skills, especially in a working environment where a lot is changing. Research shows that 74% of recruitment managers indicate that they consider a high EQ important or very important in their employees. In the 21st century, you will need to master a series of 'softer' emotional skills in order to guide yourself and thrive. After all, it has long been known that emotional intelligence is more important than IQ for a successful career.
