It explains four practical ways to build EQ: strengthening self-awareness by naming emotions and noticing bodily signals, practicing self-management by distinguishing responding from reacting, improving social awareness through active questioning and body-language alignment, and developing relationship management through empathy, optimism, honesty, and genuine interest. It concludes with using emotions constructively without being overwhelmed.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/lifestyle/","Lifestyle",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/emotional-intelligence-develop-your-eq-at-work/661356/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/emotional-intelligence-develop-your-eq-at-work/661356.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"cimolpedes","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-28",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":22},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What did the study find about emotional intelligence and job titles?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"EQ scores increase as people move up toward middle management, then slip back down beyond middle management roles like directors, executives, and CEOs.","Answer",{"name":65,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":66},"How do self-awareness practices help emotional control?",{"text":67,"@type":63},"By recognizing and naming how you feel, you reduce the emotion’s intensity.

IS IT THE TOP DOG CEO, THE CARING SUPERVISOR OR THE HARD WORKING EMPLOYEE?  \nA RECENT STUDY FOUND THAT EQ SCORES INCREASE WITH JOB TITLE. AS YOU MOVE UP THE CORPORATE LADDER TOWARD MIDDLE  \nMANAGEMENT, SCORES DRAMATICALLY INCREASED. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT SCORES START TO SLIP BACK DOWN BEYOND MIDDLE  \nMANAGEMENT, FOR TITLES LIKE DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVES AND CEOS.  \nINDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR  \nSUPERVISOR  \nMANAGER  \nDIRECTOR  \nEXECUTIVE/VP  \nSENIOR EXECUTIVE  \nCEO  \nCREDIT: WHY YOUR BOSS LACKS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, BY TRAVIS BRADBERRY  \nEQ = TOP PERFORMERS  \nPERHAPS THE BIGGEST DISCOVERY THE RESEARCHERS MADE, WAS THAT FOR EVERY TITLE IN THE GRAPH ABOVE, THE TOP PERFORMERS ARE THOSE WITH THE HIGHEST EQ SCORES. WHAT THAT MEANS IS EVENTHOUGH CEOS HAVE THE LOWEST EQ SCORES IN THE WORKPLACE, THE BEST-PERFORMING CEOS ARE THOSE WITH THE HIGHEST EQS.  \nDEVELOP YOUR OWN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE  \nTHERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES AND THEORETICAL MODELS LINKED TO EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, BUT HERE ARE FOUR SIMPLE WAYS YOU  \nBOOST YOUR OWN EQ IN THE WORKPLACE.  \nSELF-AWARENESS  \nBY SIMPLY RECOGNISING AND NAMING HOW YOU FEEL, YOU’LL REDUCE THE INTENSITY OF THE EMOTION. THE NEXT TIME YOU LOSE YOUR COOL, TRY TO THINK ABOUT HOW YOU’RE FEELING EMOTIONALLY. TRY TO IDENTIFY WHERE THAT EMOTION IS SHOWING UP AS A PHYSICAL FEELING IN YOUR BODY AND  \nWHAT THE SENSATION FEELS LIKE.  \nTHE MORE YOU CAN PRACTICE THIS, THE MORE IT WILL BECOME SECOND NATURE. YOU’LL RECOGNISE THE EMOTIONAL STATE YOU’RE FEELING, AND IT  \nWILL BECOME EASIER TO MANAGE THOSE FEELINGS.  \nSELF-MANAGEMENT  \nYOUR EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOUR COME FROM YOU, THEY DON’T COME FROM ANYONE ELSE, AND THEREFORE, YOU’RE THE ONE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM. IT’S NOT EASY TO ACCEPT. BUT THERE’S A SUBTLE AND IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RESPONDING AND REACTING.  \nMANAGING YOUR RESPONSES AND IMPULSIVE EMOTIONS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART  \nOF HAVING HIGH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.  \nSOCIAL AWARENESS  \nWE CAN ALL THINK OF A CERTAIN MANAGER, FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER WHO INSTINCTIVELY KNOWS WHEN YOU NEED TO BE LEFT ALONE, OR WHEN YOU WANT COMPANY OR EXTRA SUPPORT. THESE PEOPLE EXCEL IN SOCIAL  \nAWARENESS.  \nTHE NEXT TIME YOU’RE INTERACTING WITH SOMEONE, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION  \nAND ASK YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:  \n1. DID I LISTEN ACTIVELY TO THE PERSON WHO APPROACHED ME OR WAS I TOO BUSY TO LISTEN?  \n2. DID I ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE CONTENT WAS AFFECTING THEIR EMOTIONS?  \n3. DID I CHANGE MY BODY LANGUAGE IN ORDER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE OTHER PERSON?  \nYOU CAN’T BECOME MORE SOCIALLY AWARE OVERNIGHT.  \nBUT IT’S A SKILL WORTH DEVELOPING.  \nRELATIONSHIP  \nMANAGEMENT  \nIF YOU WANT TO GET THE BEST OUT OF OTHERS, AND HELP THEM CHANGE, GROW AND DEVELOP, YOU HAVE TO WORK ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP  \nMANAGEMENT SKILLS.  \nTHE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A NETWORKING GENIUS TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE.  \nTHE MOST MAGNETIC CHARACTERS DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO LISTEN AND EMPATHISE, AND TO BE OPTIMISTIC, HONEST, ENCOURAGING, INQUISITIVE AND  \nGRATEFUL.  \nBUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR WORKPLACE BY BEING GENUINELY  \nINTERESTED IN WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY.  \nTAKEAWAY  \nEMOTIONS ARE GOOD. BUT YOU MUST LEARN TO USE THEIR POWER  \nWITHOUT LETTING THEM OVERWHELM YOU.  \n“EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, MORE THAN ANY OTHER FACTOR, MORE THAN IQ OR EXPERTISE, ACCOUNTS FOR 85 TO 95 PER CENT OF SUCCESS AT WORK. IQ IS A THRESHOLD FOR COMPETENCE. YOU NEED IT, BUT IT DOESN’T MAKE YOU A STAR. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE CAN”.  \nWWW.
