In all of the work we do on emotional intelligence and leadership, perhaps nothing draws more attention, response, and delight as the\u00a0Junto Emotion Wheel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When used personally on a regular basis, it builds our self-awareness, and when used with others, it builds our empathy and social awareness. Therefore, it becomes a tool that can improve two levels of our emotional intelligence. But one level that it doesn’t help is our self-management.<\/p>\n

A limitation of the Wheel is that it’s simply a gauge: it helps identify how we’re feeling in any given moment but doesn’t tell us\u00a0what to do<\/em>, especially when those emotions are mostly negative (fear, anger, sadness, and the bad kind of surprise). It’s similar to the gauges on our car dashboard: they provide data that something is wrong but they don’t explicitly tell us what to do.<\/p>\n

As someone who sees, uses, and talks about the Emotion Wheel multiple times a day, I finally discovered what I can do with the “data” I get from it, especially at work. And this has helped build my self-management skills considerably, contributing to my emotional intelligence growth.<\/p>\n

If I happen to be in a positive emotional state – feeling mostly joy, love, and\/or the good kind of surprise – I typically have positive energy. And when that’s the case, it’s best for me to knock things off my to-do list, inspire or move others, exercise my creativity, and otherwise demonstrate effective self-management.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if I’m in a negative emotional state – feeling mostly fear, anger, sadness and\/or the bad kind of surprise – I typically have negative energy. And when that’s the case, it’s best to prevent it from affecting my work and the interactions I have with others.<\/p>\n

So I have a choice between two approaches. I can let the negative energy affect me, my work, and\u00a0others which is not healthy for anyone. Or I can drive the negative energy away by\u00a0doing things that give me positive energy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Simply walking away is not a choice because I’m trying to improve my emotional intelligence. And walking away is not effective self-management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
