Update To The Top Emotional Intelligence Mistake In Business
February 6th, 2007 by Galba Bright
If you have already read my first post on this topic, you may have noticed that I didn’t give you a real world example of naturalistic intelligence. If you haven’t read the first post, I suggest that you read that post first and then come back to this one.
Here is an excellent naturalistic intelligence resource.
Leslie Owen Wilson explains:
“People possessing nature smarts are keenly aware of their surroundings and changes in their environment, even if these changes are at minute or subtle levels. Often this is due to their highly-developed levels of sensory perception.”
If you want to increase your Emotional Intelligence, it’s important that you understand the basics of multiple intelligence for two key reasons
1) your awareness of each of the different types of intelligence gives you a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses.
2) when you improve your knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses, you improve your intrapersonal intelligence (your capacity for being smart about yourself).
Intrapersonal intelligence belongs in the foundation set of emotional intelligence competencies called self awareness.
Experts argue that anyone who wants to improve their Emotional Intelligence should start by improving their self awareness.
