CAN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE BE DEVELOPED?

Can Emotional Intelligence be developed? While some researchers believe that emotional intelligence is an inborn characteristic, others which includes us at the Rankein Scale, believe that emotional intelligence can be learned, developed and strengthened. Many individuals have enhanced their emotional intelligence when they put their minds to it.

In the workplace we believe that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, but only when an employee understands how emotional intelligence can be used in the workplace and in our case the health and care sector.

ASSESSMENT TOOL THAT USES EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Imagine a practical online assessment tool that helps employers in the care sector to select staff who can demonstrate compassion and emotional intelligence. Or what about a quick online assessment tool that helps people to secure a valued job in the care sector? The Rankein Scale offers both. Check it out at www.rankeinscale.com

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS IMPORTANT FOR CARE

Like any meaningful role, caring requires advanced skills, in particular those which enable complex interactions to take place. Most individuals who require care depend on the carer being able to recognise and respond to ever changing needs in a person-centred way. Often there will be barriers to communication and, frequently, there will be emotionally charged situations to manage. Meeting these challenges is only possible when the carer possesses interpersonal skills such as: empathy; genuine positive regard; active listening; emotional dexterity and intrapersonal skills such as: self-awareness; reflection; critical analysis and emotion awareness. A carer who lacks the necessary ‘inter’ and ‘intra’ personal skills‘ will find it very difficult to be receptive and responsive to the subtle needs of the individual. This is particularly pertinent when dealing with vulnerable people who may find it difficult to articulate their needs. ‘Inter’ and ‘intra’ personal skills can be described collectively as ‘Emotional Intelligence’.
