Response |
1 |
Role in the Organization |
I was promoted to the post of Asst. Manager but my objectives (what company wants from my team) were not clear. |
I arranged a meeting with our Sen. Manager and discussed about my role and what company expects from me at that position. |
2 |
Interpersonal Relationship at Work |
One of my co-worker who was also in my team was not supporting the team properly. His negligent behaviour was delaying our project. |
I informed him about the concerns of the team, motivated him to work properly so that the project can be worked out successfully on time. |
3 |
Lack of Training |
While working as an Asst. Manager, once the management gave us a newly launched product and asked to promote it with the existing one. The management did not organize any training session to inform about the qualities of that product. |
I conveyed the message through our Manager that the team requires a proper training to know about the specifications and qualities of the product. |
No. |
Causes or Triggers of emotional states at work |
1 |
When people in our office don’t clean the surroundings near their desk, it gives me a hint that they may be irresponsible with their work also. |
2 |
When my colleagues do not come on time to office, my mind automatically questions their credibility. |
3.b.If I am aware of these triggers or causes, I can use them in a positive way such as whenever I see somebody’s desk in a messy position, I can tell them that keeping their surrounding environment clean brings positive energy and keeps the mood stable (Bradberry, 2014). For my colleagues coming late to office, I can tell them they can increase their productivity by coming to office on time. In both the cases, when I will be aware of my triggers, instead of being affected or stressed, I can advise my colleagues which will help them to perform better at workplace.
4.Instance: When an executive at the workplace is required to report directly to the manager but after promising also ignores the manager and don’t send information. Moreover, when the executive doesn’t reply to the reminder emails, the manager feels powerless, disrespected and frustrated. Various thoughts may arise in manager’s mind regarding how to solve it because it is hampering his image. Sometimes manager also thinks that why not fire him? It is mix of emotions. The manager needs to reaffirm his rights and do self-talks, such as the executive might be busy and what could be an appropriate win-win solution for this problem. The manager after taking 2-3 deep breaths may go confidently to the space where executive is working. When both will do face to face talk, the problem will be discussed in an appropriate manner and a solution can be found (“How to Handle Emotions at Work”, 2009).
The above instance of modelling workplace behaviour demonstrates management of emotions and set an example for other subordinates as a correct way to handle stressful situations related to junior employees ignoring the duties.
5.The three steps are:
6.Emotional intelligence is the most important leadership trait that determines the employees’ and managers’ performance at workplace (Cherniss & Goleman, 2003). There are many areas of an organization in which emotional intelligence prove to be effective. Some of the areas are innovation, productivity, employee morale, employee commitment, sales and quality of service (Zeidner, Matthews & Roberts, 2004).
After identifying my strengths and weaknesses, I have basically understood how I can use emotional intelligence as an important trait to overcome problems at workplace. Such as, I usually get stressed out in unclear situations but if I am aware of my emotional triggers, I can easily overcome such situations. There are times when my helpful nature causes delay in my tasks at workplace and I need to learn the proper way to manage my behavior so that I can overcome any kind of difficult emotional situations.
I will say that my emotional intelligence is increased when I will have a stable focus, that is one task at a time and I will find it increased when I will be able to make a connection between my thoughts, feelings and actions. To achieve this level of emotional intelligence, I need to implement some strategies that I need to practice daily. The steps that will be beneficial for me are:
By daily noticing my behavior and emotions, I will get a pattern. It will help me to evaluate my performance and do further planning if required. In one month of regular practice, I expect 80 percent improvement in my emotional intelligence from current state.
