CEOS ON AVERAGE HAVE THE LOWEST EQ

“CEOs, on average, have the lowest EQ scores in the workplace.”
However, CEOs with the highest EQ scores outperform their low EQ colleagues. Emotional Intelligence 2.0
when someone says you're adversarial don't say no I'm not ask what do you mean


4 ways to elevate EQ for leaders:

#1. Embrace the genius of ‘and’.
Be tough and emotionally intelligent. Don’t choose between tough leadership and emotional intelligence. 
  1. Reflect on your feelings and the feelings of others. 
  2. Express empathy and high expectations.
  3. Believe in relationships and results.
  4. Give support and challenge.
  5. Enjoy power and give it away.
  6. Celebrate wins and set new goals.
  7. Make tough decisions and remain compassionate.
  8. Use ritual for stability and force yourself into new experiences.
  9. Apologize with humility and press forward with confidence.
  10. Express what you really want and stay open to others.
#2. Believe negative feedback.
One symptom of low emotional intelligence is discounting negative feedback regarding low EQ.
When someone says you’re adversarial, don’t say, “No I’m not.” Ask, “What do you mean?”
#3. Set emotional targets.
  1. Ask yourself how you want your team to feel during the next meeting you lead. Perhaps you want the team to feel respected for their work and urgent about meeting the next deadline.
  2. List behavioral options that might produce feelings of respect and urgency.
  3. Ask high EQ team members for suggestions.
  4. Explore how the team might interact with each other to produce feelings of respect and urgency.
  5. Chart your path forward for the next meeting.
  6. Evaluate emotional results. Explain to the team that you want them to feel respected and urgent. You might ask what you did that worked well and what could be better next time.
  7. Adapt and execute at the next meeting.
#4. Seek input from high EQ people.
Leaders I work with often find greater success by strengthening their EQ muscle.
How might leaders increase the emotional intelligence?

SEVEN STEPS TO SEE AND SOLVE BLINDSPOTS

Blindspots let you blame others for your shortcomings and feel superior while doing it. 5 common leadership blindspots: Evaluating yourself as a good listener, even though you can’t wait for others to stop talking. The discipline of listening is seldom achieved. It’s likely you’re more enamored with your voice than anyone else. Overvaluing your strengths while highlighting the weaknesses and faults of others. Overestimating the value you bring while undervaluing the potential of others. Believing you understand others, even though you ask few questions and make many judgments. Falling in love with yours solutions while criticizing the suggestions of others.   You think it’s problem-solving. Your team thinks you’re defending your viewpoint while nitpicking theirs. The worst blindness is seeing your blindspots and excusing them. 7 steps to see and solve blindspots: #1. Admit you have blindspots, even if you don’t see them. Just say it, “I have blindspots.” #2.

7 ways leaders seize the opportunity of second failure:

You hoped they would do better but they failed again. Why? Second chances – by themselves – prolong failure. People will fail tomorrow in the same way they failed today, unless they change. A second chance, apart from intervention, is tomorrow’s second failure. Responding to second failure is one of leaderships most powerful opportunities. 7 ways leaders seize the opportunity of second failure: Explore failure deeply.  Learn from last time before rushing to next time. What decision did you make that brought you to this failure? (Don’t say “us” when you mean “you.”) With this failure in mind, if you could go back in time, where would you go? Look for the point in time when a decision led to failure. What would you do differently at that point in time? Clarify commitments. What are you committed to do next time? How? When? How frequently? Identify what needs to stop. The likelihood of success increases when you stop doing things that sabotage success. Stop losing your temper, for ex...
