Here's how you can boost team performance and productivity using Emotional Intelligence.

Emotional intelligence can also be split into personal and social competence. The personal competence aligns closely with self-awareness and emotional regulation. Social competence aligns with empathy and social skills. Opportunities should be taken to cultivate and harness these EI competencies to increase your own EI and that of others. To enable this, one should practice different EI skills for each component. For example, self-awareness skills of identifying and understanding own strengths and limitations should be considered. Practising deep breathing and managing stress are useful for emotional regulation. Regarding social competence, understanding others by using empathy & creating space for building social skills is important.

Build trust and rapport by fostering open communication and mutual respect among team members, while showing empathy and understanding towards their feelings and challenges. Understand individual strengths and motivations by identifying each member's strengths, preferences, and growth areas, and aligning tasks with their interests and skills to boost engagement and performance.

In order to enhance multi-way communication a few useful tips are: * hold regular team meetings, creating safe spaces for discussions * encourage team members to voice their ideas, concerns & feedback without fear of judgment * as a leader, set the tone for the team - model transparency and active listening * train your team to be aware of non-verbal cues * encourage maintaining eye contact during conversations & using of positive body language * being mindful of the tone & pitch of voice By enhancing communication skills, team members can better understand each other’s emotions & intentions, reducing misunderstandings & fostering a more harmonious work environment.

Conflict has it's good sides and bad sides. No conflict means no growth. If there is no conflict either people are in a comfort zone they don't want to disturb, or there isn't enough trust and psychological safety in the team to express their ideas, feelings and emotions. A constant state of conflict is also detrimental since it takes the energy and attention from the business objectives and from finding the solutions. Try to keep a balance, address the issues as they appear, foster a sense of justice and respect. Take what is good from every perspective and try to add it to the mix so that you can keep your team motivated and with the eyes on reaching the objectives.

Social competencies are more important than other areas of expertise. Work on your verbal expression skills, your conviction through authentic body language and appreciative listening.
