Thank you to everyone joining us this evening. Please identify yourself and the location you are joining from, so we can acknowledge you properly. #HRwithEM #EmotionalIntelligence

Feel free to tweet your question(s) at me with the hashtag #HRwithEM as the session is going on, and I would respond to all at the end of the session. Also, don’t forget to RETWEET all tweets for the benefit of your audience in order to extend this #KSS #EmotionalIntelligence.

Today's #TwitterSession would focus on "Emotional Intelligence: What? Why? How?" #EmotionalIntelligence #HRwithEM

Q1 - What is #EmotionalIntelligence? #HRwithEM

People can be intelligent in different ways. In fact, there are about seven (7) intelligence as discovered by research, of which #EmotionalIntelligence is one. #EI #HRwithEM

Emotional Intelligence is a type of intelligence that is made up of intra- and inter- personal intelligence. #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

Emotional Intelligence is your ability to RECOGNISE and MANAGE how you feel and how others feel in order to achieve your desired result. #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

The @wef has stated in one of it's research result that by 2020, Emotional Intelligence is expected to become one of the top 6 skills required to succeed at work. #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

Emotional Intelligence has four (4) domains as follows:
1. Self awareness
2. Self management
3. Social awareness
4. Relationship management

Q2 - Why #EmotionalIntelligence? #EI #HRwithEM

Emotional Intelligence (EI) leads to Desired Positive Results (DPR). The absence of #EI could bring about catastrophic results in the way people are managed and consequently affect the business negatively. #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

Emotions can ruin your life if you allow them direct you. Emotions are not directors but information carriers. Your set of values should direct your actions, and not your emotions. #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

Some of the strategies you can adopt to manage your emotions include: keeping quiet, removing yourself from the situation or person, and smiling when you get angry, amongst others. #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

Q3 - How do you entrench #EmotionalIntelligence? #EI #HRwithEM

There are four (4) major ways in which to entrench #EmotionalIntelligence in an organisation. #EI #HRwithEM

1/4 Get the leadership team to agree what value is important to the organisation. #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

2/4 The CEO should begin to lead based on Emotional Intelligence. #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

3/4 HR policies and procedures should entrench Emotional Intelligence in whole talent acquisition process (recruitment, selection and onboarding). #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

4/4 Reward people when they demonstrate Emotional Intelligence and sanction when they don't. What is not measured, recognised and rewarded is usually not sustained. #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

In conclusion, should you forget all that I have shared so far, I would like this to sink in "LEADERS DON'T SHOUT! Shouting shows you are not in control!!" #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

We have come to the end of today's #HRwithEM #TwitterSession and I hope that we have done justice to the topic of discussion.

I look forward to having you again next week, same day, same time! #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #HRwithEM

Thank you to everyone who contributed in making this #TwitterSession a success.

Keep sending your burning #HR question(s) to [e-mail], and join me every Saturday at 4pm WAT to learn how I would handle such a situation.

Have a beautiful weekend! #EI #HRwithEM
