What do you do if you want to enhance your emotional intelligence through temporary and contract work?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to understand and manage your own and others' emotions, and to use them effectively in various situations. EI is a crucial skill for any professional, as it can enhance your communication, collaboration, leadership, and problem-solving abilities. But how can you develop your EI if you are working in temporary or contract roles, where you may have less stability, feedback, and opportunities to build relationships? Here are some tips to help you enhance your EI through temporary and contract work.

1 Assess your EI

Before you can improve your EI, you need to know your strengths and weaknesses. There are various tools and tests that can help you measure your EI, such as the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i) or the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). You can also ask for feedback from your colleagues, managers, clients, or mentors, or use a journal to reflect on your emotional reactions and behaviors in different scenarios. By assessing your EI, you can identify the areas that you need to work on, and set realistic and specific goals for yourself.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is our capacity to appreciate, comprehend, and manage our emotions while acknowledging and influencing the emotions of others. Understanding the concepts (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management) is key. The absence of knowledge and key emotional skills can result in conflict in the workplace and in relationships as well as lack of communication. Developing, or honing, EI skills is crucial to ensuring we don’t have issues conveying and managing our emotions. It can also help in alleviating the lack of acknowledgment of others perspectives appropriately while helping us to engage more effectively, listen more actively, and identifying any gaps in EI.

2 Seek diverse experiences

One of the benefits of temporary and contract work is that you can expose yourself to different industries, cultures, and challenges. This can help you expand your emotional vocabulary, awareness, and adaptability. You can learn from different people and situations, and practice your EI skills in various contexts. For example, you can try to empathize with different perspectives, express your emotions appropriately, resolve conflicts constructively, and cope with stress and uncertainty. By seeking diverse experiences, you can enrich your EI and broaden your career opportunities.

Cultural awareness (CQ) and Emotional intelligence (EI or EQ) go hand in hand, and can truly impact not only your professional opportunities but enhance your expertise (regardless of your role, seniority, or industry). It is remarkable how much you learn about yourself, your strengths and weak areas, your thought process, and your capabilities while engaging in diverse activities. I encourage my students and clients to pursue different paths so they can test what works well, how they need to hone their skillset and persevere in various situations in life.

3 Build rapport quickly

Another challenge of temporary and contract work is that you may have less time to establish trust and rapport with your co-workers, managers, and clients. However, building rapport is essential for your EI, as it can help you communicate effectively, collaborate smoothly, and influence positively. To build rapport quickly, you can use some techniques such as active listening, mirroring, finding common ground, and showing appreciation. You can also use your emotional expressions, tone of voice, and body language to convey warmth, interest, and respect. By building rapport quickly, you can create positive and productive relationships in your temporary or contract roles.

4 Seek feedback regularly

Feedback is vital for your EI development, as it can help you improve your performance, learn from your mistakes, and recognize your achievements. However, you may not receive enough feedback in your temporary or contract roles, as you may have less interaction and supervision from your managers or clients. Therefore, you need to seek feedback regularly, and be proactive and open-minded about it. You can ask for feedback from different sources, such as your peers, mentors, or recruiters, and use specific and constructive questions to elicit useful information. You can also use feedback as an opportunity to express your gratitude, ask for guidance, and demonstrate your willingness to grow.

5 Leverage online resources

Finally, you can leverage online resources to enhance your EI, as there are many courses, books, podcasts, blogs, and videos that can help you learn and practice EI skills. You can choose the resources that suit your learning style, preferences, and goals, and use them to supplement your on-the-job experiences. You can also join online communities, forums, or groups that are related to EI, and share your insights, questions, and challenges with other learners. By leveraging online resources, you can access valuable and convenient sources of EI knowledge and support.

Contract and temporary work offer unique opportunities to practice emotional intelligence skills with diverse groups and in a variety of situations. Moving between projects and teams allows you to engage with more people than if you were part of a static team. As you interact, consider the elements of emotional intelligence and integrate them into your daily tasks. When you're working on dynamic groups, you may not get the ongoing feedback you might on more stable projects, so you'll need to cultivate strong self-awareness and be honest with yourself. Regular reflection, journaling, or coaching can support that reflection.
