The term "Emotional Effectiveness" refers to specific skills, habits and attitudes: the personal and social skills that lead to superior performance. By developing or enhancing these skills, you can significantly improve your capacity for personal and professional success. To maximize your effectiveness in practically any situation—as a parent, employee, team member, friend, spouse, partner, leader, etc.—it is vital that you have a clear, conscious understanding of your personal values and goals along with your emotional strengths and development opportunities.
Values are your compass
If you haven’t clearly defined the core values that are most important in your life, and if you haven’t set unambiguous, specific goals (that are in line with your values) you may work hard and get a lot of things done but never feel truly fulfilled.
Emotions are your fuel
If you’re not consciously aware of your emotional reactions, especially under difficult circumstances, you may find that your words and actions become disruptive and unproductive. Your emotions, rather than serving you, may continually sabotage your efforts in very subtle ways that are recognizable to others, but not to you.
Even if your values and goals are clear, and you’re highly aware of your emotional reactions, both positive and negative, you’ll still need specific skills and competencies to maximize your effectiveness.
If you lack some of the key skills necessary to be successful in a given endeavor, but you aren’t AWARE of your own deficiency, you’ll tend to make poor decisions and waste time, energy and resources on unproductive activities. You’ll also tend to find ways to blame others (or circumstances) for your poor performance rather than accept personal responsibility for your results.
