164 Part III: Taking Emotional Intelligence to Work

✓

Make sure your team has clear goals.

Make the goals measurable and time-limited (for example, “Have the exterior costs for the project completed by Wednesday at 2 p.m.”).

✓

Clearly spell out everyone’s responsibility regarding their roles in meeting the team’s goals.

✓

Keep your discussions professional and avoid letting personal or petty conflicts interfere with reaching goals.

✓

Find time away from work to socialize with team members.
