• Muriel Maignan Wilikins, That You Lack Emotional Intelligence
  • “Here are some of the telltale signs that you need to work on your emotional intelligence:
    1. You often feel like others don’t get the point and it makes you impatient and frustrated.
    2. You’re surprised when others are sensitive to your comments or jokes and you think they’re overreacting.
    3. You think being liked at work is overrated.
    4. You weigh in early with your assertions and defend them with rigor.
    5. You hold others to the same high expectations you hold for yourself.
    6. You find others are to blame for most of the issues on your team.
    7. You find it annoying when others expect you to know how they feel.” *
