Role of EI in Collaboration and Teamwork

Introduction

Emotional intelligence is the ability to

recognize and accept your emotions,

understand your weakness, capitalize on your

strength, manage your emotions in a positive

way, show empathy, build relationships, and

inspire others.

When we learn new things, our brain forms new pathways and connections and these

connections can be changed over time based on feedback. So, instead of lashing out at a

team member, we can delve deeper and think again. This is the beauty of emotional
intelligence that helps us improve the way we deal with our emotions and the emotions

of others.

The role of emotional intelligence in collaboration and teamwork

Teamwork means the collaborative effort of a group. This effort is made to achieve a

common goal or to complete a task efficiently. Teamwork is seen within the framework of

a team. The people involved in the team depend on each other. And work together for a

common goal.

 Before leading a team, you must know how to manage your emotions in a positive
and constructive way.

 You will need to provide support to the team to ensure they have everything they

need to succeed.

 You need to create a psychologically safe environment where team members feel
comfortable asking questions and sharing their opinions

 You will have to deal with team members with different personalities and may have

different communication styles.

1. Self-Awareness

This is the ability to understand your emotions and how they affect your thinking and

behavior. You have to trust your knowledge and abilities and stop worrying about what
others think about you. You should be aware of your strengths and weaknesses; this is

very important.

Once you become aware of your emotions, you can handle them in a productive and

healthy way. You need to stay focused on the end goal, keep your commitments, be

reliable, adapt to new situations as they arise, and avoid distractions.

according to their feelings.

4. Social Skills

Social Competence Aspect of Emotional Intelligence

Introduction

Social intelligence is a skill that can be acquired through daily life experiences of

understanding people and understanding one's behavior to develop social relationships.

It is about a person's ability to communicate effectively and interact with people in an

empathetic and articulate manner. Social intelligence is a quality that comes from

awareness of one's inner self and practicing effective emotional management.

Daniel Goleman suggested reconsidering previous work on social

intelligence in his book Social Intelligence: The New Science of

Human Relationships (2006). He said we need new tools to assess

social intelligence with additional consideration of individual

differences.

Social Competence Aspect of Emotional Intelligence

Mayer and Salovey (1997): "The ability to understand emotions, access emotions, and

generate them so as to aid thought, understand emotions and emotional knowledge, and

reflect on emotions to promote emotional and intellectual development." Can control

and empathizes with them. Relationships that arise spontaneously can be lasting and

strong.

it extends to understanding the emotions of others and positively influencing them. This
aspect of emotional intelligence is especially important in various contexts such as the

workplace, where teamwork, collaboration, and effective communication are essential for

success. Socially competent individuals are more adept at building strong professional

networks, resolving conflicts, and fostering positive and inclusive work environments.

Ques 2. Define emotional intelligence. Describe any two models of emotional

intelligence.

Answer

Introduction

Emotional intelligence is the ability to attend to one's own and others' emotions,

understand them, and recognize their true motivations, needs, motives, and desires.

Emotional intelligence is defined by Peter Salovey and John Mayer as "the ability to

monitor one's own and other people's emotions, discriminate between different emotions

and label them appropriately, and use emotional information to guide thinking and
behavior." "Defined as. This definition was later broken down and refined into four

proposed abilities: sensing, using, understanding, and managing emotions.

Emotional intelligence model

There are 3 major frameworks into which

emotional intelligence models can be

classified.

 Ability Model – This equates EI with

mental abilities, and assesses them through instruments that classify responses into

right and wrong.

 Mixed Model – According to this model emotional intelligence is a combination of

abilities and personality traits.

 Trait Model – states that emotional intelligence abilities are similar to personality

traits rather than abilities and adapts personality testing.

 16

Ability Model

Salovey and Mayer (1990): Emotional intelligence "is a form of social intelligence that

involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, discriminate

between them, and use this information to guide one's thinking and action. it occurs".

Thus, the capability model posits that EI includes four different types of capabilities:

1. Emotional Cognition: A person can recognize the emotions of others through facial

expressions, body language, pictures, voices, etc. It also includes the individual's ability
to recognize and recognize his or her own emotions. Emotion perception is generally

considered a very basic aspect of emotional intelligence, as it is necessary to

complement the other processes included in the ability model.

2. Use of Emotion: The second activity proposed by the Ability Model deals with a
person's ability to use their emotions to achieve desired results – whether it is their

own emotions or the emotions of another person.

Think about a child who knows the best time to ask their parents for permission to do

something; The child who asks for permission at a time when the parent is fearful,
anxious, or angry is less likely to be successful in using emotions. However, if they

strike while the iron is hot and use any goodwill from their parents to their advantage,

they are more likely to get their desired results.

3. Understanding emotions: This ability is built on understanding the complexity of

emotions. While many people have the ability to recognize basic facial expressions,

very few of them are able to predictably recognize and understand emotional

language and appreciate the nuances of complex emotional relationships. A reduced

ability to understand emotions may occur in someone who struggles to understand

why conflicting emotions may arise at the same time as a result of a death or divorce.

 17

4. Managing emotions: Managing emotions specifically relates to one's ability (or lack

thereof) to control emotions, both in oneself and in others. in the ability model As the

highest level of ability, someone with high emotional intelligence would be expected
to be able to manipulate their own or others' moods, essentially harnessing the mood

and managing it to achieve their goals.

Mixed model of emotional intelligence

Goleman’s model outlines five main EI constructs:

 Self-awareness: The ability to know one's emotions,

strengths, weaknesses, drives, values, and goals, and

to recognize their impact on others, using inner

feelings to make decisions.

 Self-regulation: This involves controlling or redirecting one's disruptive emotions and

impulses and adapting to changing circumstances.

 Social skills: managing relationships to get along with others.

 Empathy: considering other people's feelings, especially when making decisions.

 Motivation: Being aware of what motivates them.

Conclusion

Intellectual ability is important to succeed in everyday life in many different fields.

Intelligence is an important aspect of the mind that includes a lot of cognitive abilities

such as reasoning, planning, problem-solving, adaptation, abstract thinking,

understanding of ideas, use of language, and learning abilities. However, there are some

other important components that contribute to the above success including social
abilities, emotional adaptation, emotional sensitivity, empathy, practical intelligence, and

motivation.

7 Cs Principles of Effective Communication

Effective communication refers to the process of

conveying information, ideas, thoughts and feelings

from one person to another in a clear, concise and

understandable manner.

1. Clear: Clear communication means conveying your message in a way that the recipient

can easily understand. This includes using simple language, avoiding jargon or

technical terms, and organizing your ideas logically.

Clarity leaves no room for any confusion or misinterpretation in your message.

Example

Unclear Communication:

hey team,

Just a quick reminder about yesterday's meeting.

Clear Communication:

Hello to the team,

I would like to remind you about the quarterly sales meeting taking place tomorrow, May
20th at 10 am in Conference Room B.

2. Concise: Being concise means conveying your message in a clear and direct manner
without using unnecessary words or information. It is about converting your thoughts

and ideas into their most essential form.

Example

Non-abbreviated communication: “Hey Neha, I wanted to talk to you about an

upcoming project deadline.

Brief communication: “Neha, let's discuss the project deadline.

3. Correct: Being accurate means giving accurate and reliable information without errors

or misleading statements. correct in communication ensures that facts, figures, grammar,

spelling and other details are correct.

It is important to verify facts, use reliable sources, and double-check information before
sharing it. This applies to both oral and written communication.

Example:

Imagine a co-worker is presenting a sales report in a meeting. He mentioned that the

company achieved 10% growth in sales last quarter. However, further investigation

revealed that there was a mistake in the calculations and the actual increase was only 5%.

In this scenario, misinformation from a coworker can lead to poor decision making and

misunderstandings within the company.

4. Complete: Being complete means providing all the necessary information and ensuring

that your message is comprehensive and complete. It's about leaving no room for

confusion or ambiguity.

Example:

Incomplete communication: "We need to improve sales."

Complete Communication: To improve sales, we should look to increase our online

advertising budget by 20% for the next quarter.

5. Coherent: Coherent in communication is about taking into account the needs, attitudes

and feelings of your audience. It requires empathy and understanding, taking into account

the specific circumstances, preferences and concerns of your audience.

Example:

Indiscreet communication: “I want you to complete this report by the end of the day.
“This is urgent and I don’t have time to wait.”

Thoughtful Communication:

“Hello, I hope you are doing well. If possible, could you please complete the report by the
end of the day?

6. Concrete: Concrete communication is about avoiding vague or ambiguous statements

and providing clear details. Cogent language makes your communications more relevant

and engaging, allowing your audience to understand what you're saying quickly and

accurately.

Example:

Vague statement: “Our customer satisfaction levels are not where we want them to be.

We should work on improving them.”

Solid Communication: “Our customer satisfaction survey results for the last quarter

indicate an overall satisfaction score of 6.2 out of 10.

7. Courteous: Courteous communication refers to the use of polite and respectful

language and behavior. This includes maintaining a professional and friendly tone,

following social norms, and showing respect for others' opinions, time, and boundaries.
