5 Ways to Build Emotional Intelligence in Teams in 2022

Emotional Intelligence is a major factor in the levels of success we achieve individually... and in teams.

Why is considering the Emotional Intelligence (EI) in your Team important?

Work in organisations is regularly done by teams, and when a team is not effective, it usually has something to do with the quality of interactions between people; and dysfunction in a team, more often than not, has something to do with low levels of EI being demonstrated.

Humans are primarily emotional & low Emotional Intelligence results in poor regulation of these emotions, which can be contagious... behaviour breeds behaviour!

Low EI in teams shows up as;

- poor communication
- unresolved conflict
- negativity
- complaining
- avoidance of issues
- a lack of cooperation
- the formation of cliques and behaviour that is reactive, ‘childish’ or ‘immature’ in nature.

When we think of EI, we tend to think of it in terms of individuals; however, a team with emotionally intelligent members does not necessarily make for an emotionally intelligent team.

Like any social group, every workplace team takes on its own character and culture, and unless this culture is deliberately developed, whatever is tolerated will become the norm.
