Who practices the 7 Habits is Emotionally Intelligent?

Alexandre,

The practical intelligence, that is, as you stated, “how to solve daily problems,” would be a given for a project manager; otherwise, one would not be able to perform their duties.

Emotional Intelligence is not self-help; it’s a practical skill (i.e., a soft skill) that one must desire and then acquire. With that in mind, Mindfulness is the same, and when put together with EI -- leadership potential is unbounded.

My point is this: In the context of leadership and project management, EI and Mindfulness reside in the practical realm. Are their stigmas associated with them, yes, but these are largely carry-overs from their therapy basis.

Dear Thomas
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion

Did you have the opportunity to read what I wrote about emotional intelligence, the five elements of emotional intelligence and the specific characterization of each of these elements?

I would really like to know if you agree with what I wrote about emotional intelligence

Covey's 7-Habits Model possesses a great group of processes for doing business from a mental perspective and addresses the necessary steps to change one's perceptions. However, I don't think the 7-Habits sufficiently covers one's spiritual and emotional perspectives, particularly concerning how one thinks about doing business. I believe that Covey significantly covered many aspects of Emotional Intelligence in his Principle-Centered Leadership Model.

Dear Stéphane
I would like you to validate the concept of emotional intelligence and the elements

So, What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage your emotions and understand both your emotions and the emotions of people around you.

People who are highly emotionally intelligent are aware of their own feelings, what those feelings mean, and how they affect other people around them.

They also have the ability to handle other people’s emotions, which is crucial for the right leader.

There are five important elements to emotional intelligence:

1. Self-awareness
2. Self-regulation
3. Motivation
4. Empathy
5. Social skills

The more of these you have in check, the higher your emotional intelligence is.

Dear Luis,

A person who is more engaged with their team, management, community and society is a person who would display 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (by Stephen Covey). They are related but distinct topics in their own right with Stephen Covey's interpretation a subset of emotional intelligence. People who use emotional intelligence in their jobs would be health care professional and teachers who in order to do their jobs need to understand the state of their pupils and patients. Empathy is the most important aspect of emotional intelligence, "putting yourself in someone else shoes" in order to understand their mindset. If we can understand the person we can understand the problem.

Daire
