Your team is facing conflict. How can you assertively address and resolve it using Emotional Intelligence?
Conflicts in the workplace are inevitable, but addressing them with emotional intelligence (EI) can turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and team cohesion. Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as to recognize, understand, and influence the emotions of others. When a conflict arises, it's crucial to approach the situation with a level head and a strategy rooted in EI to assertively navigate the troubled waters without causing additional distress or misunderstanding.
