Exceptional employees don\u2019t possess God-given personality traits; they rely on simple, everyday EQ skills that anyone can incorporate into their repertoire.

How would you define employee excellence? What role do you play to ensure “excellence” comes alive and is leveraged?<\/strong> Travis Bradberry, author of 10 Ways To Spot A Truly Exceptional Employee feels emotional intelligence (EQ) is the key.<\/p>\n

Emotional intelligence is the genuine ability to feel emotions, understand what you\u2019re feeling and why, understand how others are feeling, and respond appropriately. And, the best part is that we can increase our EQ through self-development.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having a high EQ builds relationships and fosters communication and consists of the following 4 areas:<\/p>\n

Self Awareness<\/strong> (critical when engaging in communication)
\nSelf Management<\/strong> (key for managing emotions in difficult situations)
\nSocial Awareness<\/strong> (leverages awareness of others to perform at their peak)
\nRelationship Management<\/strong> (manages relationships to increase job performance and integrates EQ professionally and personally)<\/p>\n

Bradberry says the following about exceptional employees:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They neutralize toxic people. Exceptional employees control their interactions with toxic people by keeping their feelings in check and confront the toxic person rationally.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They\u2019re marketable. Exceptional employees are well liked and have integrity and can be trusted to represent the brand well.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They\u2019re accountable. They own their work, their decisions, and all of their results\u2014good or bad.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They recognize when things are broken and fix them. They see problems as issues to be fixed immediately and don\u2019t walk past the problem.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They\u2019re never satisfied. Exceptional employees have unparalleled convictions that things can always be better.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They\u2019re in control of their egos. They\u2019re willing to admit when they\u2019re wrong and are willing to do things someone else\u2019s way to improve results (or the situation).<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They\u2019re judiciously courageous. Exceptional employees are willing to speak up when others are not, and they balance this with common sense and timing.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They focus. They can differentiate between real problems and background noise; therefore, they stay focused on what matters.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They can tolerate conflict. While exceptional employees don\u2019t seek conflict, they don\u2019t run away from it either. They maintain their composure in pursuit of the greater goal.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 \u00a0They\u2019re willing to delay gratification. Exceptional employees work outside the boundaries of job descriptions and are not dependent on recognition to do so.<\/p>\n
