Now, the criteria for evaluating our work have changed. Judging whether we are qualified for a job has become a new standard. The assessment includes not only how smart and competent we are, how trained we are, how the relevant business quality is, but also how we manage ourselves and how we live our lives. This new standard has been widely accepted by all. Companies use the new standard when deciding who to hire, who to lay off and who to keep, and who to promote.
Using new criteria, you can see who is going to do the job well and who is going to screw it up at the critical moment. No matter what work we do, these measures of the new standards are relevant to our work.
These new standards do not care what we learned in school, and academic ability is not within the scope of the new standards. The new standard assumes that you have met basic job requirements and have sufficient intellectual and technical practical knowledge. Therefore, this standard focuses more on assessing personal traits such as initiative, personal reasoning, adaptability, and persuasion.
Such new standards are the fruit of scientific research, sound and convincing. The researchers looked at thousands of employees in all walks of life, and the accuracy of the study was high, with the focus on "what qualities a good employee should have". The results showed what competencies and attributes were available to high-performing employees, especially those required.
If you work for a big company, the test is to see if you have those abilities. If you are looking for a job, the recruiter will probably use these criteria, but no one will explicitly remind you of the existence of this standard. Whatever job you choose, once you know how to develop these abilities and traits, it will help you succeed in your career.
If you are a member of the company's management, you need to analyze whether your company is encouraging these capabilities or curbing them. To some extent, if the company promotes the development of these abilities, your company will be more efficient and productive. In this way, the team intelligence can be optimized, and they can also learn from each other to maximize everyone's ability.
If you work for a small company or start your own, your ability to do well also depends to a large extent on those abilities and attributes. In fact, these abilities and qualities are almost impossible to learn in school. Still, the success of your career depends more or less on your mastery of these abilities.
In this day and age, no one can guarantee you an "iron job". To be successful and keep your job, you must cultivate these important qualities. Over the decades, people have talked about these qualities from time to time and given them different names-character, character, soft skills, or abilities. We finally have a deeper and more accurate understanding of these abilities. So the more appropriate name should be-emotional intelligence.
