We don’t like to admit we are wrong.
Do you know someone who seems to be unable to control their emotions? Maybe you feel this way yourself at times. We all have varying degrees of emotional intelligence. Although it’s difficult to face our challenges and shift our behaviors, it can be done. During today’s episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher shares 9 Signs of Low Emotional Intelligence from Kendra Cherry via Very Well Mind as well as her own reflections about how we compensate for these behaviors. When we commit to a defined change in behavior, we make a difference in the way we interact with others.
This episode addresses questions, such as:
- What are the characteristics of people with low EQ?
- How do low EQ behaviors impact people and teams?
- Why is it important to balance traits like ‘dare’ with discipline?
