The Four Domains of Emotional Intelligence

1. Self-awareness: Knowing your innerstate
2. Self-management: Controlling and improving your ownbehaviors
3. Social awareness: Tuning into other people (empathy)
4. Relationship management: Dedicating time and energy to your relationships

Effective leaders master all four EQ domains. The competencies within these domains are learned and learnable. For example, emotional self-control is a critical competency within self-management. How do you react to crises? Do you remain calm or become agitated? In general, how do you perform under stress? Consider emotional intelligence when hiring, promoting, and developing talent.

EQ begins with self-awareness. Knowing your own strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, and biases. Do you tend to procrastinate? Does perfectionism often paralyze you? This self-knowledge is the basis for the second dimension of EQ: self-management. While one person pops out of bed bright and chipper at 5 am, another needs three alarm clocks to wake up by 8. Self-management means setting those alarms if you need them.

Being self-aware and self-disciplined will get you only so far, though. Most human activities involve complex, coordinated problem solving that can't be done in isolation. Success, therefore, depends on the ability to understand others and wisely manage your relationships withthem.

The top performers in every profession demonstrate high EQ in all four of these dimensions. This is especially the case in positions of greater responsibility. Time and time again, companies find that their unsuccessful c-suite hires have impressive rsums but low scores in one or more of these dimensions of emotional intelligence. Whereas legendary leaders are those who can set and achieve their own goals, manage their emotions, and inspire their teams even in times of crisis.
