Emotional Intelligence and Teamwork

Due to COVID-19 pandemic many countries have declared lockdown that means mass quarantine or to stay at home to reduce the risks to themselves and to others if they can move freely. This caused a number of life processes to stop. Most of the shopping malls, shops, schools, offices and other public places are closed in order to prevent people from this pandemic.

In this situation, many of the industries introduced online system. As well as many universities introduced online educational system via online classes. But since there was no online classes in by university so I decided to join some online programs.

In this context, I joined Foster Flagship Program. This is not just a course but much more than it. I was assigned with a number of activities under this program including freelancing, enrolment in courses on courser, building home kitchen garden, paper tower, life map chart and many more interesting activities.

In this session I was assigned to learn known sense and emotional intelligence. Now what emotional intelligence is­? Emotional intelligence is that how we intelligently control or manage our emotions for ourselves and also for others to live a happy and successful life.

Emotional intelligence is measured in terms of EQ (emotional quotient) that is different from IQ (intelligence quotient). IQ is something that refers to the brain but EQ refers to both brain and heart and success lies where the two, IQ and EQ meets.

We were assigned to do an activity in teams, as we were divided into teams of four to five for communication and coordination with all team members. There were some of the questions we have to answer by ourselves.

Each of the team member answered the above questions and then everyone share their answers with others in the team and in this way we came to know more about our team members. It helped me a lot to understand my team members, their natures and thus helped to understand and explain their behaviors and actions. It also cleared up all the misunderstanding about my team members.

By performing this activity, I came to know more about myself as emotional intelligence and EQ (emotional quotient) refers to self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills.

In addition to this activity, I also performed a quiz to evaluate my emotional intelligence in terms of EQ (emotional quotient) and came to know the level of my emotional intelligence. Ill like to share the level of my emotional intelligence as per this quiz.
