Assessing your EI at work abilities

We’ve adapted an emotional intelligence survey Dan Goleman and others developed called the Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI). We will ask you to reflect on the following areas of emotional intelligence competencies.

1. Emotional self-awareness
2. Emotional self-control
3. Achievement orientation – striving for excellence
4. Positive outlook
5. Adaptability
6. Empathy
7. Organisational awareness - tuning into the needs of the team
8. Influence on others
9. Coach and mentor
10. Conflict management
11. Inspirational leadership
12. Teamwork

Answer the questions as honestly as you can. Reflect back on feedback and performance reviews over the last few years. In which areas do you have strengths in? And in which areas do you think, based on trusted feedback, that you need to develop your competencies in?

You work well with others towards the teams’ goals. You engage in team discussions, share responsibilities and put the team goals before your own. When things go well, you share in the success; when things go wrong, you take ownership of your role.

You are positive circuit breaker when the mood is low - you have  the ability to inspire and guide individuals and groups to get the job done, and to bring out the best in others.

You are self-compassionate and not self-critical - when you face setbacks you learn from them without overly ruminating on them.

You can read your teammates' sometimes subtle emotional vibes well and understand how individuals relate to each other, which personalities work well together and which clash.
