Earlier this year, Container Store CEO Kip Tindell
said one of the most important things a leader can
have is high emotional intelligence.
"Emotional intelligence is the key to being really
successful," he told Business Insider's Jenna
Goudreau.
Perhaps that's why more and more companies are
asking interview questions that are designed to
measure a candidate's emotional intelligence —
which is the ability to perceive, control, and
evaluate emotions.
According to Phil Johnson, founder of Master of
Business Leadership (MBL) Inc. , an online coaching
platform, these are some of the most common
ones:
1. How will this role help you to achieve what you
want?
2. What makes you laugh?
3. When is the last time you were embarrassed?
(What happened? How did you handle the
situation?)
4. What activities energize and excite you?
5. How do you have fun?
6. What are two personal habits that have served
you well?
7. How good are you at accepting help from
others?
8. How good are you at asking for help?
9. What is one of the internal battles to have each
day?
10. What makes you angry?
11. What aspect of your work are you passionate
about?
12. How could you create more balance in your
life?
13. Who inspires you? Why?
14. On an "average day" would you consider
yourself a high or low energy person?
15. On an "average day" is your main focus on
results and tasks or people and emotions?
"Emotional intelligence multiplies the results and
effectiveness of intellectual intelligence," Johnson
writes in a LinkedIn post . "Emotional labor is the
most difficult type of work to do and up until now,
the easiest to avoid. It is the essential education we
need to embrace the unimaginable."
