¿Qué haces si tus habilidades de toma de decisiones se ven obstaculizadas por la falta de inteligencia emocional?

Sharpen your decision-making! Recognize emotions influencing your choices. Take a step back to analyze the situation logically. Consider how your choices might impact others. By acknowledging emotions and seeking broader perspectives, you'll make well-rounded decisions that benefit everyone.

To make good decisions it is crucial to know who you are and how you respond to situations. One of the easiest way to know that is to become conscious of day to day activities happening around you, what were your thoughts about them and if you find yourself get triggered often by little situation then it is sign of low EQ.

If your decision-making skills are hindered by a lack of emotional intelligence, consider the following steps to improve: Increase self-awareness: Take time to understand your emotions, triggers, and how they influence your decision-making process. Develop empathy: Practice putting yourself in others' shoes to better understand their perspectives and emotions, which can lead to more informed and empathetic decision-making. Enhance communication skills: Improve your ability to express emotions effectively and listen actively to others, fostering better relationships and collaborative decision-making.

Reconhecer seus limites e sua inteligência emocional. Passe se auto observar e como você age com o time e seus pares. Se è preciso você se auto avaliar internamente em como lidar co. O outro. Ter uma expansão da consciência e práticas escuta ativa são pontos importantes na sua trajetória.

I think the assumption in the question is that someone with low EI/EQ has the capacity to recognise they have an issue. I feel this is the biggest challenge for anyone with low EI/EQ. Couple this with narcissism and it is unlikely that an individual will see that their decision making is being hindered by themselves, rather they will see it as the fault of others. It is my opinion that it is the responsibility of higher level managers/leaders to be present and observant in the workplace to understand the limitations of their people. To provide the guidance and the right opportunities for leaders with low EI/EQ to succeed, but not at the expense of others in the organisation. I agree awareness is important, but it needs to come from above.

One of the easiest ways to improve decision making is to seek feedback from a trusted colleague whom you KNOW has a high EQ, especially when the stakes are high. Often low EQ is hard to recognize in ourselves. What we may more often notice is that interactions have negative consequences we weren’t anticipating. Asking for feedback, experience shares and an outside perspective gives us the opportunity to highlight our blind spots and expand our perspective/awareness.

Feedback is truly a powerful tool. Gives us a perspective which we may own or reflect. It does help the individual to recognize strengths and weaknesses and places them in right perspective. Having a sensible boundary in seeking or providing feedback certainly adds value in decision making.

Part of having a growth mindset is seeking feedback, be it from a trusted person or data driven feedback. The sooner we get feedback the quicker we can course correct be it in change situations, self-mastery, in a project etc. seeking feedback is also helpful for discovering those strengths that you may have but don’t know about. How one deceives and implements that feedback is also key, people don’t like to give feedback when they know it will not be used or that they can be punished for it.

Becoming a lifelong learner is critical to increasing your emotional intelligence. Often, we allow our emotions to take over because we do not have the skills to overcome whatever is thrown at us. We can get overwhelmed, angry, sad, frustrated, etc., at people or situations because we do not have the tools to respond successfully. Therefore, the more you learn, the more knowledge, skills, and tools you have to be ready to respond to any situation successfully and not allow your emotions to take over.

Indeed, learning tools to have self discipline on emotions helps maintain balance of thoughts. Clarity of thoughts, to be able to visualize, active listening, aid in appropriate decision making.

We need to go beyond managing stress, as it is no longer sufficient for the psychological needs of today’s employees. According to the APA, what causes stress is our uncomfortable emotions. What’s needed, then, is a way to address and process our negative feelings rather than continue to manage them. Employees yearn to understand their emotional selves better so they don’t have to manage or carry continuous emotional weight. Just like intelligence of emotions can be learned, so can understanding what to do that will help resolve negative feelings when they arise, which creates empowerment and resilience.

Learn to manage the things that cause the most stress. According to health psychology, the number one cause of stress is our daily hassles, the things that we do daily, such as our career, relationships, and health. Make sure to keep them in balance. If you are experiencing stress, one of those areas is likely off-balanced. You want to go back and make sure you give those areas the attention they need to put your life back to balance. Stress is a strong emotion, and it can take over your life if you do not manage it.

Focus on building quality relationships over quantity relationships. You know you can trust and get advice from people with good relationships. They can better support you successfully when you have an emotional shutdown. You would rather have a few quality relationships than many unsupportive relationships.

I always say that relationship building is a key part of inclusion. It may seem like a big ask in this fast paced world of ours but if we want to succeed at Inclusion and Cultural IQ putting the relationship first is key. When one can truly understand others, their values and their journeys then you can really connect and include one another. How else do we know what to include if we have not taken time to understand the parts that need to be included.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is like a superpower of emotional self-regulation. It helps you understand your feelings and those of others, making intentional choices, especially when things get tough. Practice breaking your default emotional response to challenges so your ‘wise mind’ (that’s not in reaction mode) can choose a better response. 1. Notice Feelings: Pay attention to what you’re feeling. Fearful, avoidant, angry? 2. Name It: Give your feeling a name. It’s easier to deal with once you know what it is. 3. Practice a grounding technique: take a deep breath, focus on a sound or a sensation. 4. Choose Your Reaction: Decide how you want to react. Remember, you're in charge, not your feelings.

Keep an emotional intelligence journal. Use the journal to reflect every end of the day about how you felt, responded to situations and impacted others. And then from that reflection choose something you want to work on the next day. In the morning before you start your day be intentional about how you show up emotionally, how you impact others. Check-in with yourself throughout the day about how you are doing with regard to your morning intentions. A quick scan and a few deep breaths between meetings should suffice. If you find that you are off track ask yourself what do I need to get back to equilibrium? It maybe a meal, water, a debrief of the last meeting or just taking a few deep breaths. I sometimes play a song that will reset me.

I address this by focusing on developing mental toughness and enhancing self-awareness. Building emotional intelligence involves recognizing and understanding your emotions and how they impact your thoughts and actions. To enhance decision-making, I encourage practices such as mindfulness meditation, which can improve focus and emotional regulation, and reflective journaling, to explore and understand emotional responses. Developing mental toughness is about cultivating resilience and the ability to persist in the face of challenges, which in turn strengthens the capacity to make well-informed decisions.

Learning to have emotional intelligence is similar to learning personal development. What affected you when you was younger or at some age may not affect you when you are older and vice versa. Simply because you go through different stages in life when you learn more about yourself and learn and evaluate differently what happens to you. We must also learn to allow emotions to take its course so we can learn from it. Once we do that we can learn to make better decisions on the education of our own emotions and seeing how others affected in the same ways to help them because of what we’ve been through and experienced. You’re always evolving in these spaces.

First get clear with the emotional blocks. Release it through Cathartic meditation and then your are in your centre and in space to take right decision

On top of practicing ways to improve one's emotional intelligence(EQ), making decisions can also be turned into a habit. Seeking less serious circumstances where you can experiment with being decisive and observe the repercussions, can give you insights into what the process is really about and unintentionally improve both your ability to make a decision and overall confidence levels. At the end, not making a decision is worse than making the wrong one, as it comes with an anxiety cost and a prolonged feedback loop(i.e.: you learn faster by making more mistakes early). Not to say that making uneducated decisions recklessly is best, but overthinking and postponing them is not great either. Everything is like a muscle, it grows when you do.
