PUSH: What’s next?
London-based concultancy — September 2020
Prof. Dr. Jochen Menges presented at the 3rd Annual Event of PUSH, a London-based consultancy helping companies to be more human. He highlighted that academic research finds that emotions drive behavior, and if this is happening in the workplace we need to address it. The answer? Developing Emotional Intelligence to understand ourselves, how we feel and how we might change the way we feel in the workplace.
Key Takeaways:
Increasingly, the value of emotions in the workplace is being recognised. We need to find ways of managing them for the good of ourselves and others.
Developing Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the key to harnessing emotions. Ask yourself — how do I feel, and how can I change the way I feel?
According to the World Economic Forum, developing effective EI will be a key skill in business over the next decade.
Many employees already recognise the value of EI, but report that business structures are slow to adapt to such thinking.
To prepare for a more people-centric future, organisations must embed EI into their culture.
