领英摘抄，与之前一篇“氛围的觉察”在表达方式如何come across方面有相通之处

EQ is a lot more complex than IQ, and there are many more variables that affect emotional intelligence.

The four core elements of EQ are:

- self-awareness,

- self-management or regulation,

- social awareness,

- social skills or relationship management.

In our opinion self-awareness is the gateway to greater emotional intelligence.

Self-awareness is the state of a deep understanding of ourselves. It is having the ability to observe our behaviours, motivations, thoughts, habits feelings and emotions and to understand what drives and motivates us.

A deeper understanding of our beliefs, values, limiting self-beliefs, emotions and the thought patterns that we have.

When we start to recognise patterns of behaviours in ourselves, we can spot those patterns in the people around us that we lead and interact with; creating a greater understanding and allowing us to connect with others at a deeper level to drive more effective and successful business relationships.

Often leaders are not aware of the impact that they are having on others. Sometimes it is not what they say, but how they say it, or how they come across. Having this deeper understanding will unlock your greater leadership potential and increase trust with your business partners and employees. As you reveal and share more of your true self, others will trust you more and be willing to speak up about topics that they don’t agree with or when they see things heading in the wrong direction.
