USING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TO GET A PROMOTION
WANT A PROMOTION? Here are four EQ skills that will help you stand out over the competition:
1. Interpersonal Relationships
Your ability to get along with your own boss will count as much toward your chances of being promoted as your ability to do the job. Plus, your boss will be thinking, “(Your name here!) gets along with everybody and will do a great job!”
2. Empathy
The better you are at understanding people and what motivates them, the more you will stand out as being promotable. You’ll need that skill in your new job.
3. Assertiveness:
Your boss will be looking for someone who knows how to get things done. If you can tell people what you need from them in a clear but non-threatening way, you will be just what your boss is looking for.
4. Stress Tolerance:
Higher level jobs cause higher levels of stress. You'll need to show your boss that you will be able to handle that extra stress.
