Emotional Intelligence: Social Competence

In this lesson, we will study social awareness and relationship management that fall under the heading of “Social Competence” in Bradberry and Greaves’ model of emotional intelligence. Social awareness is the ability to use empathy and active listening to understand others better. Leaders with strong social awareness are not only able to read accurately their emotions but also do the same with others. Relationship management is using all of your EQ skills to establish solid relationships and manage your interactions with others.

Learning objectives:

• Define social awareness
• Build relationships with employees to enhance business outcomes
