Emotional Intelligence
You’re already prepping your employees for a possible crisis, but have you thought about how best to engage them during a time like this?
Great leaders are distinguished by a high Emotional Quotient, which includes Self-awareness, Self-management, Empathy, Relationship management, and Effective communication. In many organizations, managers and leaders are responsible for keeping the team engaged and focused. Leaders can employ various other procedures during a crisis to keep employees motivated and on track. EQ is a very important skill for the higher-ups since it deals with our own and others’ emotions.
“Great things never came from comfort zones.”
5 types of high EQ ways to engage with employees:

It is the skill to be aware of control, and ultimately express emotions. It also teaches us how to identify hidden emotions and be aware of them. EQ is the ability to identify, recognize and understand one’s own emotions and to know how emotions affect behaviour, decision-making, time management, and performance. This skill plays a major role in managers’ and leaders’ team management abilities during a crisis.
