3 steps to emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence

Each individual has their own style of working – it’s what makes us human. Understanding these styles and how they interact is key to having better working relationships. A recent article by Motto outlines three steps you can take for strong emotional intelligence.

2 Connect
Understanding someone’s personality style isn’t just about figuring them out. You have to give back what you get – but recognise that if you’re a relationship-driven person while your boss is focused on facts, it’s probably not a good idea to start a conversation about your kids when he or she’s more concerned with the report you wrote the day before.
