Low Emotional Intelligence at work
😋 I had dinner with a friend a couple of weeks ago and he was talking about his boss. He is trying to decide if he wants to change jobs. He loves the company but this boss is demeaning and micro managing. There is a lot of turn over in his department and he clearly sees why.
But, does he leave and take the chance that he will get into another situation like his current? He and I discussed how Emotional Intelligence plays into the situation he is in.
Every thing he described about the boss indicates low emotional intelligence: 💥 Low Self awareness 💥 Low Empathy 💥 Bad communication skills 💥 Constant need to be right 💥 Inability to handle feedback.
The challenge for someone working for a boss with low emotional intelligence is how to navigate. Have you had to navigate a boss or maybe even a co-worker with low emotional intelligence? Put your experiences in the comments and if you have figured out how to navigate it, let us know. I can't wait to see what you all have to say!
