Entrepreneurs Must Possess Emotional Intelligence Says Global Events & Marketing Pty

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, June 28, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize one's own and other people's emotions, to discriminate between different feelings and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior. Studies have shown that people with high emotional intelligence have greater mental health, exemplary job performance, and more potent leadership skills. Markers of emotional intelligence and methods of developing it have become more widely coveted in the past few decades. In addition, studies have begun to provide evidence to help characterize the neural mechanisms of emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence in entrepreneurs is important as emotions drive people, and people drive performance. What this means is that the actions being taken (or not taken) are primarily based on a person's emotions. This is where emotional intelligence comes into play. However, having emotional intelligence is not about throwing logic out of the window. Instead, true emotional intelligence is a combination of rational thinking and the wisdom of emotions.

Understanding the why behind an action is fundamental in being able to coach and lead an individual to be successful and productive within business.

Global Events and Marketing Pty offers tips on how to develop emotional intelligence;

Self-Awareness - Know yourself.
"What you don't acknowledge, you cannot change". (Dr. Phil, a TV personality, author and psychologist) Knowing who you are, your strengths and weaknesses is important, but it doesn't create complete self-awareness. Understanding the why and the emotions behind our behavior is important in creating full self-awareness, and allowing change to happen. This should be constantly re-assessed.

Self-Management - Guide yourself.
Understanding that not everything in business goes to plan, and having the strength to not internalize feelings of failure, and remove the emotion from the situation but instead to use the stumbling block as a base for plan B or a learning opportunity for next time will determine if a person is ever going to be successful in business, as an entrepreneur, self-management is the way to go.

Social Awareness - Make the connection.
As an entrepreneur, I bet you have attended more than your fair share of networking events. Social awareness will help you build a new relationship, whether that relationship is with a potential client or a business partner. Making the occasion about building a personal relationship with another person as opposed to using it as a selling opportunity will make you more socially astute.

Relationship Management - Build the relationship.
"It's not what you know, it's who you know." Trust, and an entrepreneur's ability to build it with influencers and potential business partners, will either make the struggle in business longer than necessary or it can propel a person forward at super speed. Focusing on giving rather than receiving at the early stage is a great way to build trust and lasting relationships as an entrepreneur. All of the other emotional intelligence abilities come together in building powerful relationships and your awareness will help you connect and discover how you can make a difference in their lives--in a way that only you know how.
