On average, we go through 27 emotional experiences/hour & 400/day
What if you & your colleagues were asked to anonymously write down one thing that causes anxiety about work. Then the answers were given to other team members to read aloud. How would you feel after hearing your colleagues’ responses? Would any of them be surprising? Do you think you would be empathetic towards the individuals & situations described? Perhaps you would see that others have fears & vulnerabilities like you do. This is all part of emotional intelligence.
The terms Emotional Intelligence & EQ are used interchangeably. Originally, EQ referred to a measurement of emotional intelligence associated with an assessment score, like IQ. Instead of providing someone with their emotional intelligence score, Agile EQ helps an individual understand where personal development may be needed, why it is needed & how it can be achieved. Agile EQ defines emotional intelligence as having the agility to act productively in various emotional & social situations. This is more important than ever as companies find themselves navigating an ever-constant state of change.
Everything DiSC® Agile EQ™ combines the personalized insights of the DiSC® personality styles with EQ mindsets to provide individuals with an agile approach to workplace interactions. By doing so, employees are empowered to meet the demands of any situation. The result is an emotionally intelligent workforce that can support a thriving agile culture.
There are eight EQ mindsets that describe the way individuals think about & approach interactions with others. Each DiSC® style has three mindsets that are most comfortable for people with that style. These are instinctive mindsets that shape their responses. The remaining five mindsets provide opportunities for each DiSC® style to stretch beyond what comes naturally to them & become more agile in their approach to social & emotional situations.
- Self-Assured: projecting confidence & taking charge
- Dynamic: influencing others & taking action on new ideas
- Outgoing: building up relationships & expressing unfiltered thoughts
- Empathizing: understanding others & reaching out to be supportive
- Receptive: keeping an open mind & considering other perspectives
- Composed: remaining calm & diplomatic
- Objective: thinking rationally & clearly
- Resolute: resisting pressure to cave in
