Answer all of the questions below using the results of the evaluation in section 1 to guide your
answers, and feedback from your classmates/friends/family for parts c and d.
a) Document your findings on yourself in the four areas (empathy, emotional self-control,
positivity and adaptability) focussed on in your evaluation in section 1 as discuss your
strongest area.
As per the finding, I have good empathy for others. Therefore, my score on empathy is high among
all the five dimensions of emotional intelligence.
b) Reflecting on the results, identify what stood out for you in terms of what it tells you
about yourself as a person.
The following things stood out for me in terms of what it tells me about myself as a person are
listed as below:
Open-mindedness
Objectivity
Perseverance
Generosity
Loyalty
Self-control
Trust
Optimism
Forgiveness
Empathy, compassion
Sympathy
Honesty
I can tell if a team of people are not getting along with each other
d) Thinking about the questions asked as part of the evaluation and your learning as part of
this unit, identify five of your emotional weaknesses from the following list:
Subjectivity
Defeated quickly
Selfishness
Betrayal
No self-control/temper
Jealousy
Pessimism
Holding grudges/vengeance
Irrational behaviour
Indifference
Dishonesty
Empathy is the ability to experience and relate to the thoughts, emotions or experience of others.
Empathy is more than simple sympathy, which is being able to understand and support others with
compassion or sensitivity. For me empathy helps in following ways in regard to workplace
performance and relationships:
Empathy allows me to feel safe with my failures because I will not simply be blamed for
them.
Empathy is essential in the workplace for any business dealing with setbacks, poor performance, or
individuals that genuinely want to achieve. As leaders, our job is to deal with our team
sympathetically and watch them construct a robust and wealthy organization.
f) Discuss how you believe your emotional weaknesses hinder your workplace performance
and relationships.
Empathy has a number of downsides, one of which is that it can lead to bad decision-making. We
may be inclined to simply address the problem for the worried employee because empathy is
frequently a large surge of feeling, but this may generate problems for other team members.
Allowing a team member who is caring for an aging parent to take as much time off as they need is
an example. This could put a lot of extra work and hours on the shoulders of the rest of the crew.
Another team member with a young child might think you are being unjust. In a fairway, you now
have extra problems to solve.
Empathy might fade away quickly as well. Even if we feel bad for a teammate who is going
through a difficult time in life, the emotion may evaporate before we can fix the problem. As a
result, we may dismiss it in the face of long commotion lists and looming deadlines. Members of
the team may come to believe that we are unconcerned.
Finally, empathy has the potential to cause burnout. Even good emotions can be exhausting.
Empathizing with the entire team gets exhausting after a while, and our ability to care is harmed.
Even though we desire to be empathic, we might not be able to do so.
Empathy can also be harmful to team diversity since we tend to identify with people who are
