Interview Questions that Assess Emotional Intelligence

Interview Questions that Assess Emotional IntelligenceInterview Questions that Assess Emotional IntelligenceInterview Questions that Assess Emotional Intelligence RossheimEmotional intelligence (EI) is no new kid on the block. For years, employers have widely acknowledged the importance of qualities like self-awareness and empathy to the success of the business professional and her organization.What is new in the 2010s is the push to incorporate an evaluation of emotional intelligence (EI) into the employee selection process.Heres how companies and consultants are approaching the various rewards and risks of EI assessments and some interview questions that shed light on the candidates EI.Select candidates who are honest about themselves. It takes emotional maturity to be realistic about ones own psychological makeup, and many otherwise competent professionals lack this form of emotional intelligence.Look for ways to probe this in the interview. People with high emotional intelligence would answer honestly the question, How do you get around one of your weaknesses? says Ashley Goodall, director and chief learning officer for leadership development at consulting firm Deloitte.Be direct. In the interview, ask candidates to talk about how theyve resolved stressful situations, says Sylvia Lafair, a consultant and author of Dont Bring It to Work Breaking the Family Patterns that Limit Success.You can ask, How do you handle a procrastinator who has something due every Wednesday and doesnt deliver? behauptung how do you handle questions give you a lot of keys.Do take care to ask all candidates the same set of questions, to reduce hiring-bias liability, adds Lafair.Look at experience and education in emotional intelligence. Academic programs are beginning to include emotional intelligence in their curriculum. For example, the course of study in some pharmacy programs incorporates EI.But I wouldnt just take that coursework at face value, says Lucinda Maine, CEO of the A merican Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. I think you can learn emotional intelligence, but that doesnt necessarily mean youre able to use it. So you need to explore how well the learning stuck with the candidate.In the interview process, ask the candidate to give examples of how they apply what they learned in their EI training.Seek hires who will attract collaborators. After self-knowledge, emotional intelligence is really about knowing how to relate and how to work with people. To Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, vice president of research and innovation at Hogan Assessments, professional success comes down to three things and asking ansicht questions in the interviewDo you have the skills and IQ to learn the job?Will you work hard?Are you rewarding to deal with?Adds Chamorro-Premuzic, Emotional intelligence is the key to determining if youre rewarding to deal with. Also ask the candidate how his colleagues benefit from working with him.Consider formal assessments, in context. Firms such as Hogan Assessments offer testing instruments specifically intended to evaluate a professionals emotional intelligence in the workplace. These written assessments may play a role in your overall evaluation of a candidates EI, but they wont tell the whole story.You have to look at a number of things, not just a single test, says Louisa Mattson, a partner with consulting firm Essex Partners in Boston.Interviewing candidates across a range of situations phone, video, peer-to-peer and group situations, as well as traditional one-to-one meetings can also yield valuable insights on emotional intelligence.Beware employment-bias liability, even in written assessments of EI. If you buy a test, ask the test provider for documentation that the EI test or interview questions have been validated following recognized guidelines or at a minimum, that have been shown to predict success in similar jobs, writes Gabrielle Wirth, a partner at Dorsey Whitney LLP in Business Excellence.Look out for cultural bias. Human emotions may be universal but their expression is not. For example, body language, particularlyavoidance of eye contact during the interview process may signify fear or disagreement in one culture, and in another, simple respect. So beware of the risks of assessing emotional intelligence by way of gestures or other communications in the interview verbal or nonverbal whose meaning may be culture-dependent.These assessments have to be culture-free, says Mattson. Ignore cultural bias at the expense of diversity and perhaps a discrimination lawsuit.Emotional dysfunctionality and the triumphant bully. If youre the first in your organization to raise the importance of emotional intelligence with your board of directors, be prepared for pushback. Its common for directors to accentuate the positive results that a scorched-earth executive has achieved, and to ignore the negative.But ultimately, if bad hires are made and tyrannical executives leave too many bodies by the wayside, the interpersonal liability will become so great that theyll be jettisoned, says Mattson.To circumvent this type of situation, take the time to check an executive candidates track record via references .What about noxious executives who just keep climbing? What if, even with toxic leadership, your company is enjoying some success, apparently vindicating those board members who were skeptical of EI from the start?Yes, most executives are argumentative, aggressive, narcissistic, neurotic, says Chamorro-Premuzic. But just because theyve been able to manage their careers upwards, that doesnt mean theyre the best leaders. And it doesnt mean emotional intelligence shouldnt count in future hires.Heres the exception that proves the rule. The paradox with Steve Jobs is that he was narcissistic but incredibly successful, says Chamorro-Premuzic. If you are creative and have such extraordinary talent, you can probably get away with it.

Coast Guard Humanitarian Assignments

Coast Guard Humanitarian AssignmentsCoast Guard Humanitarian AssignmentsWhen you join the military, Coast Guard included, even though it is part of Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, you know going in that you will be stationed at a place where the branch of tafelgeschirr needs you. You may even have to deploy for long periods of time overseas and not in the continental United States. As a member of the military, you know this before you sign on the dotted line at the recruiters office. However, sometimes there are circumstances that require a service member to be close to home. Military service includes duty involving forced, prolonged absences that can challenge Coast Guard families. Occasionally, situations arise when the members presence is essential to alleviate a hardship the family has encountered other Coast Guard members do not normally encounter. Emergency leave often is sufficient to alleviate the hardship or emergency. However, if the situation is dire enough, special consideration can be made to help the member. For instance, the type of requests that are approved for Special Assignment are the following Terminal illness of a family memberSexual abuse of the member, members spouse or childIssues involving a serious financial impact such as the loss of property through fire or natural disaster.In each situation, the Coast Guard Personnel department considers the merit of change of assignment for the individual, also while considering the mission. Usually, this special consideration is given for people in the Coast Guardsman life such as a spouse, child, father, mother, father- or mother-in-law, stepparent or person in loco parentis (who have been documented to have taken the place of a parent). However, if another person within your immediate family not on the list requires assistance, you can still request the program as it really depends on the situation of siblings, even though not specifically listed. Humanitarian Assignment A Humanitarian Assignment (HUMS) is a special assignment authorized to alleviate a hardship so severe an emergency leave cannot fully resolve it. As a rule, all HUMS are at no cost to the government. However, in some very limited, unusual cases, the tafelgeschirr may decide the overall situation warrants the tafelgeschirrs funding a permanent change of station (PCS) transfer. If so, the member will transfer under regular PCS orders under other sections of the Coast Guard Personnel Manual. Commander, (CGPC-epm) normally authorizes no-cost TAD (Temporary Duty) orders for a maximum of six months for a HUMS because the situation involved is usually temporary. In some cases, if the hardship continues after six months, Commander, (CGPC-epm) may authorize no-cost PCS orders for up to two years for humanitarian reasons. If it appears the member will not be available for unlimited reassignment on completing the HUMS, Commander, (CGPC-epm) considers the hardship a permanent situat ion and normally will initiate discharge by reason of hardship. Criteria These are the criteria for requesting a HUMS The member has encountered a severe hardship other Coast Guard members normally do not.The hardship has arisen or deteriorated excessively since the member entered his or her current enlistment and the cause is beyond the members control.The problem affects the Service members immediate family, i.e., husband, wife, son, daughter, step-child, parent, step-parent, or other person acting in loco parentis, or any bona fide dependents. Normally, this definition does not include in-laws unless they are bona fide dependents, but selected cases may be considered individually. No other relatives capable of providing the necessary assistance are nearby.The members presence is essential to alleviate the hardship. In addition to meeting these criteria, a Service-need normally must exist before a permanent change of station will be authorized i.e., the receiving unit should h ave a current or projected billet vacancy. It is important to note consideration for authorizing temporary permissive travel is based on the merits of the hardship alone but consideration for authorizing PCS permissive travel is based on both the merits of the hardship and the needs of the Coast Guard. Non-Rated Personnel These additional restrictions apply to non-rated members The Service normally will not authorize PCS HUMS for non-rated personnel. Commander, (CGPC-epm) may authorize an individual TAD HUMS for a maximum of six months for non-rated personnel. Generally, if the members hardship cannot or does not abate within six months, the member may request either to return to his or her permanent unit or a discharge by reason of hardship. Non-rated members serving on HUMS must first present clear documentation the hardship situation is completely resolved and they are available for worldwide assignment in accordance with Service needs before Commander (CGPC-epm) will permit them to attend A School training. For complete information about the Coast Guard Humanitarian Assignments Program, see COMDTINST M1000.6A, Coast Guard Personnel Manual, paragraph 4.B.11. Video on HUMS
