Developing Emotional Intelligence

Last week, I wrote about participating in a friend's appraisal. He later told me that it is the best way to develop Emotional Intelligence with 360 degree feedback . That's why he needs to have himself accessed by people who know him well and who has worked with him before to provide him with honest feedback using this non-partial system.

He said that nowadays, the job market is so competitive, he needs to have an edge over other job seekers and with a well developed emotional intelligence, he believes he will be more than a step ahead of his contemporaries.

Check out the press release on Appraisal360.

Imagine that you lived on your own in the world and you were the only person to give you feedback. It would be a bit of a lonely life and you wouldn't learn much.

The fact is that the only real way to assess your emotional intelligence is to get feedback from people who know you and the way you interact. Developing the emotional intelligence of your workforce is good for business. It's the vital quality that underpins good teamwork, good industrial relations and makes the difference between having an inspired workforce and an average one.

Just imagine a contented workforce which ran smoothly and efficiently with a minimum of fuss. Using 360-degree feedback as part of your appraisal and development process you can bring some serious benefits to both your business and your people. People gain much better self awareness by learning how their colleagues perceive them.

People generally like 360 degree feedback. They take things less personally and are more likely to take on board what's been said. It helps people understand how their behaviour influences both their own personal effectiveness and how they impact the smooth running of the organisation. It improves communication within the organisation and encourages a more open culture where giving and receiving constructive feedback is the norm. It is a very powerful driver for change both for individuals and organisations as a whole.

The Appraisal360 system has no setup costs and is targeted at Employers, HR Professionals and Individuals.
