If someone rated the quality of your interpersonal relationships on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being “outstanding,” how do you think you would score?
Interpersonal relationships require that you intimately give and receive with openness, honesty, and self-sacrifice. Healthy interpersonal relationships are mutually satisfying, meaningful and close. A real test of whether or not your relationships are healthy is knowing if people look forward to seeing you or look for ways to avoid you.
Interpersonal relationships require that you intimately give and receive with openness, honesty, and self-sacrifice. Healthy interpersonal relationships are mutually satisfying, meaningful and close. A real test of whether or not your relationships are healthy is knowing if people look forward to seeing you or look for ways to avoid you.
This is a complex EI component because it requires mutuality between you and others. If skillfully utilized it can impact other components such as happiness, self-regard, self-actualization, and stress tolerance.
If you’re not sure how you’re doing in this area, ask a trusted friend to give you honest feedback. Then, focus on what YOU can do differently, not what you think they need to do.
Things to do: Think of at least one person that you believe you need to develop a healthy interpersonal relationship with. Invite them to lunch or just for a meeting and let them know you want to develop a relationship. You might want to start by sharing your PDP results and asking to see theirs. Take the time to learn what’s important to them and how they prefer to communicate.
