Competitive Advantage From Emotional Intelligence Coaching

By Margaret Richardson


Competitive advantage is an outcome of organization growth. Smart organizations implement growth strategies so as to tap into this advantage. The greatest assets of an organization contribute a lot to its growth through their performance. However, it is important to note that performance is affected by emotions. Organizational growth can be streamlined by emotional intelligence coaching that improves staff performance.

For starters, emotions are feelings and they are varied in nature. They include fear, anger, anticipation, surprise, disgust, joy, trust and even sadness. You can conclude that for activities to be well executed, all of these emotions must be well managed.

To streamline the feelings of an individual to better their performance, the effort is required. Some people imagine that only skilled people are capable of providing the needed support. In as much as professional skilled help is important, one is able to support themselves through the process. They need to find out what type of feelings they have and work on them.

There are many benefits to managing feelings. The output is guaranteed to improve. There is a difference between completing a task and completing it to the desired level. When feelings are controlled, the desired output will be achieved. This alone boosts self-trust. When you achieve your target you are motivated to even do more and nothing appears challenging anymore. Many people fail because they fear. When feelings are controlled, even interactions with seniors are improved and ideas are easily exchanged.

Fear is a killer in job performance. It is ranked among the deadliest and most powerful emotions. Yet, it is also normal to have fear. A person in fear always tends to freeze, hold back, hide or escape an assignment. Fear affects both the body and mind and one experiencing fear may be seen shaking.

This attitude of not engaging can be explained by different experiences. Sometimes it is because a worker does not want to fail again or they simply do not want to try out a job for the first time. Surprisingly, they may not even explain why they are holding back because they do not know. Such a worker cannot deliver as expected.

The first step to managing feelings starts with an individual. One needs to understand their own feelings first. Thereafter, they also need to understand the feelings of the others around them. Feeling management is two-way. Stronger personal relationships are effective in the management of feelings. If need be, skilled help can be sought.

In managing emotions, one leads by example. You cannot help someone manage their feelings when you are not in control of your own. The process of coaching others emotionally would also sharpen your own emotional intelligence. Simple things like commending what is good and offering support will go a long way. Now you have the secret to gaining a competitive advantage; simply manage emotions of workers.
