weaknesses based on the survey outcomes are analyzed. Apart from this, the probable areas of
developments are discussed. Next, the various competencies are reflected to develop the functioning

This also involves self-
confidence. Here, there is a
positive and effective sense
of my self-worth. Here, the
point of starting and the
primary element of the
sectors are the capabilities to
becoming critically self-
reflective.
Apart from this, the self-
management consists of
various competencies. The
first one is self-control. This
is placing disruptive emotions
and various impulses within
the controls. Then, there is
transparency that is to
maintain the standards of

manage me. This also
includes controlling
responsibilities and

flexibility t adapt for
modifications situations and
then overcoming the barriers.

involves the capability to read

and then meet the different

customers.
Part 2: Analyzing the strengths and weaknesses based on survey results with
possible improvements:
The strengths based on the survey results:
Apart from shoving the emotional manner, one I can guide myself to that and with that.
Again, ignoring the feelings has been permitting them to m forward as it is least expected.
Identification of the triggers is one benefit of it. The trigger is the situation, condition or the
individual making one emotional and prompting to certain activities. Identification of the triggers
has been leading to the development of emotional intelligence (Honea and Peter 2017). The reason is
that this has been permitting to improve the capability to manage the results. This also proves the
skills of calming down and considering measures of the activities and maintain my existence.

Weaknesses found based on the survey:
Lack of ability to judge my feelings is a drawback here. I have been labelling my feelings
with positive or negative tags. This leads to losing the capability to understand them and become
aware of them. As I have been trying to label the feelings to be bad and good, I become unable to
lose my ability to be aware of that and regard that (Petrides et al. 2016). This is the nature of human
beings to judge various things and distinguish that into two distinct categories. However, this s
counterproductive.
Understanding possible improvements:
First of all, I should be rating myself. This will be helpful for me to understand my strengths.
Next, others must be asked about feedbacks. I should be open to hearing what other people have
been thinking about myself. Next, a formal analysis test must be completed. This must be including
the personality test, finding the values, abilities and skills (Mayer, Caruso and Salovey 2016). Apart
from this, various competencies that are related to by self-evaluation must include emotional self-
awareness. This is to determine the emotion and effects on life. Instead of that, accurate self-analysis
should be one. This is to recognize the limitations and strengths. Lastly, the self-confidence must be
boosted to understand the capabilities and self-worth.

Part 3: Reflection of the competencies to be developed to function as a global citizen:
It is seen that one of the best competencies, as per emotional intelligence is considered, is the
best predictor of overall workplace performance. This can be regarded as the strongest driver of
excellence and leadership. To develop effective trust in a relationship at the global business arena,
the rise of suitable use of EI is essential. The underestimation of the significance of emotions process
and feelings at the workplace is often seen. Hence, it is vital to analyze the professional relationship
with the clients. They must be influenced highly by the entire emotional state and the awareness of
that (Sánchez-Álvarez, Extremera and Fernández-Berrocal 2016).
Various internal relations at any business, with the team members and colleagues, have been
highly vital. Different expert in this area suggests that the overall quality of the relationships helps in
finding the business success of the business.

The above study is helpful to understand why reasonable goals are to be set for developing
emotional bits of intelligence. We should be moving more towards a practical path. Further, our
behaviours must be driven towards self-development. Next, we must be personal and actively
pursuing our individual development. We should not depend on the external motivator for driving
development and learning. The study highlights that we must be working harder to develop our EI.
We must be feeling overwhelmed by our emotions during stressful cases. However, we must be
avoiding the fact as we think that we have found the case to be distressing.
