Are you working in an organization where leaders are good at building emotionally intelligent teams? Do the leaders in your organization create teams that are emotionally aware?
One of the most powerful questions one can ask oneself is “How do I create teams that regulate the emotions of individual members?” Emotionally intelligent leaders create high performance teams that are comprised of self aware individuals.
Are you good at creating emotionally intelligent teams? Do you inspire your team by emotionally igniting the desires of each team member? Are you adept at creating teams that produce consistent results?
Building the Emotional Intelligence of Teams
Some successful companies have consistently produced the most innovative products under intense deadline and budget pressures by focusing on team emotional intelligence. Many executives realize that emotional intelligence is often more crucial than IQ to an individual’s effectiveness. But team emotional intelligence may be even more important, since most work gets done in teams.
A group’s effectiveness isn’t simply the sum of its members’ individual competencies. Instead, it comes from the synergism of members’ capacities for awareness and regulation of emotions within and outside the team. These competencies build trust, group identity and a sense of group efficacy. Members feel that they work better together than individually.
To build a foundation for emotional intelligence, a group must be aware of and constructively regulate the emotions of individual team members, the whole team, and other key groups with whom it interacts.
Working with a seasoned executive coach trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating leadership assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i and CPI 260 can help you become a transformational leader who builds powerful teams that establish urgency and achieve results. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence, and who inspires people to become happily engaged with the strategy and vision of the company.
