Here's how you can gauge and evaluate Emotional Intelligence in your employees.

1.Harness the potential of Emotional Intelligence (EI) within your team! 2.Assess through interviews, 360 feedback, and validated tests. 3.Observe behavior under pressure and in collaborative settings. 4.Integrate EI into performance reviews to measure growth. 5.Offer training and coaching to strengthen EQ skills. 6.High EI correlates with high-performing teams!

Self-led performance reviews are key. As a leader, rather than leading with feedback, which creates a very top-down dynamic, invite employees to review their own work. 1. To assess self-awareness ask them what they aced, and what they think they could do better. 2. To assess self-management ask them how they could do those things better. Was behaviors and tools can they use. Check in on this regularly. 3. To drive social awareness invite employees to share what they aced, what they think they could do better and how they plan on doing it with each other. 4. To assess relationship management invite everyone to celebration sessions where folks celebrate their weekly wins AND areas for improvement.

- Do they have an ability to self-reflect ? - Can they hear a “no” ? - How do they take/provide feedback ? Three questions that can tell you a lot about one’s emotional intelligence.

One of the key areas of managing performance is observing existing behaviours. This is the way you can establish the gap between what is existing and what is desired. You will observe (and through conversations) their level social awareness and the health of their relationships. As long as this is established, you can then use certain self awareness tools to help employees to understand not only how they "Show Up" but how they are perceived by others. This can then drive the right solutions.

Evaluating emotional intelligence in employees is crucial for fostering a positive workplace. Pay attention to how employees handle stress, collaborate, and communicate. Look for empathy, self-awareness, and adaptability. Remember, emotional intelligence contributes significantly to team dynamics and overall success.

In my opinion, encouraging self-reflection is a powerful way to gauge and evaluate emotional intelligence in employees, and here's how I implement it: ✔️I schedule regular one-on-one meetings to discuss personal and professional growth. ✔️I provide employees with self-assessment tools and questionnaires focused on emotional intelligence. ✔️I encourage employees to maintain reflective journals to document their experiences, emotions, and learnings. ✔️I help employees set specific goals related to self-awareness and emotional management. ✔️I strive to foster a workplace culture where self-reflection is valued and regularly practiced.

If your employees are comfortable with AI like chatGPT, invite them to self-reflect each week with chatGPT, using it as a journal. chatGPT can then summarize and highlight trends in their work habits, strength and weaknesses. chatGPT can become a partner for them to journal with, to understand their pattern and to clearly and confidently express insights about themselves with their manager and coworkers.

Não há melhor maneira (prática) de avaliar a Inteligência Emocional de seus colaboradores que não seja deixando-os em situações de pressão. Não se trata aqui de martirizar o seu time, de puni-los, ou de maltratá-los, dado que é papel do líder proteger a sua equipe. Porém, é fato que pela metodologia 70 / 20 / 10, 70% do que se aprende é fruto da experiência, de viver aquela situação. Logo, deixar sua equipe vivenciar cenários de stress irá não apenas ajudá-lo a mapear aqueles que melhor gerenciam suas emoções (que possuem melhor IE), como adicionalmente, irá desenvolver seus subordinados para posições ou condições mais desafiadoras. Pense nisso!

O gestor deve olhar continuamente para o seu time e acompanhar o seu desenvolvimento, pois cada ser humano age de uma forma diferente. Compete ao gestor identificar como pode ajudar cada membro de sua equipe para que eles possam superar os cenários profissionais.

Look out for people who openly recognize they're under pressure. Looking calm sometimes means people are simply bottling up their emotions. Excessive stoicism can lead to burnout. However someone who can say out loud that a project is high pressure signals high EI because it demonstrates honesty, trust in the organization and trust in oneself. Better yet, if that person can clearly state what resources they need to succeed in the high pressure environment and what boundaries they need respected, you've got yourself a leader in the making.

Ter a humildade de reconhecer que sempre é possível aprender um pouco mais, é importante para o desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional. A educação tem ação transformadora na vida das pessoas.
