Is high EQ important for private bodyguards?

In this article, I want to emphasize the importance of "emotional intelligence" (EI) to professional private bodyguards in bodyguard companies, and emphasize where, when and how EQ affects career and development. In today's lifestyle and business dynamics, solving emotional problems is equally important in personal life and professional environment. In a professional environment, we are often faced with dealing with various complex and changeable problems. As a team, we provide the most effective solutions for our customers. Working ability and professional performance will not be based on background, position or title. What is EQ? There are many books and articles on this issue, but I will give you a very simple description here. Psychologist Daniel Goldman is a pioneer of this discipline. He believes that (EI) is the ability to understand your emotions, control your emotions, and realize how different emotions affect your relationship with colleagues, superiors, friends or customers. The five core elements of (EI): self-awareness, control motivation, empathy and social skills. I will share my views on how these five core elements can make us do better in our work life. [self awareness] as bodyguards, we all know that [situational awareness] is one of the most important skills in our professional field. Many fields have written excellent articles on (EI) this skill. As a professional bodyguard, having a high degree of self-awareness means that you have a clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. This honest self-evaluation will help us understand where we are now, where we want to be, and how to get there. Having a realistic view of ourselves will enable us to give full play to our strengths, overcome our weaknesses, find our position and clarify the direction of the future. Sometimes when we need help, there's nothing wrong or embarrassing about it. We feel embarrassed when we pretend we know everything. With self-awareness, we will have a very clear understanding of how our emotions and behaviors will affect the people around us, including colleagues, customers and superiors. This will help us avoid any unnecessary complication of simple things and establish a good communication and understanding with any party. [self regulation \ self control] as bodyguards, we should have a high degree of self-control. If you can't control your emotions, you can't control any situation. Because bodyguards work in a very dynamic and changing environment, they have high requirements for real-time response. In many cases, fierce situations are not uncommon. We must deal with the situation in the most rational way in order to achieve positive and fruitful results. As professionals, we should avoid verbal confrontation with people, colleagues or superiors / customers, which will expand and complicate an event. Unfortunately, there are many such people in the bodyguard industry with self righteous self-esteem. If we don't know, understand, improve and master this skill, you will face many unnecessary challenges in your future work. You will be isolated and unpopular by colleagues, superiors and customers in your life. You are the biggest enemy on the road of future development. [motivation \ self motivation] private bodyguards who learn to set good motivation and self motivation constantly strive and change for their own development, which is the shortest way to a successful career peak. According to Jack Canfield, there are five signs to show whether you are a self-motivated learner: 1. You learn because you want to learn, not because you think you "must" learn. 2. You are willing to admit everything you don't know. 3. You are willing to take reasonable risks and results. 4. You are more willing to empty yourself and accept a new field. 5 You are always ahead of many people soon. What self-motivated professionals fear most is to challenge themselves and get out of their comfort zone. By doing so, we can expand our knowledge, improve our skills and knowledge, and create higher productivity and efficiency. When dealing with various emergencies, we will have greater confidence and confidence. Whenever we face a situation full of challenges or failures, we must repeatedly analyze and deeply reflect to see what we can learn from it. Every challenge and failure provides learning opportunities, such as: "failure is the mother of success" [empathy / empathy] as a professional private bodyguard, we should have a high degree of empathy. This skill or quality enables us to think about each other's position at any time and better understand each other's needs, wishes and views. This will enable us, as a protector, to better manage and meet each other's expectations and requirements. This capability is particularly important because in many cases, our customers may have a completely different view of how to run the operation from us, which is not wrong. The biggest mistake we can make is that when we look at many problems in a defensive and personal way, it will lead to serious individualism and results. I found this phenomenon in many bodyguards, such as: "1. I'll do my job after the customer leaves. 2. I'm a professional and don't need the customer to tell me what to do. 3. I'm a professional and I can do my job according to my major. In my opinion, this statement is often caused not by lack of knowledge or experience, but by lack of compassion and understanding of different views. As a professional, I We should strive to cultivate a high degree of empathy so that we can better understand the views of customers or clients. Only in this way can we meet their requirements and meet their expectations. This is to ensure that customers enjoy excellent service and high satisfaction. [Social Technology] Social skills are our skills to communicate and interact through gestures, body language and external expression, including oral and "nonverbal communication" . as a professional bodyguard, this set of skills is crucial for us to establish a productive relationship with colleagues, customers and superiors at work. Efficiency and ability recognition. Professional bodyguards with social skills usually achieve significant success in their career for a variety of reasons. They are usually excellent communicators and can handle All kinds of good and bad situations. This enables them to establish good relations with all parties concerned. No matter what role they play at work (individual / team) , will make better contributions in a constructive way. Having strong social skills will make you a better and more popular listener. This will enable you to establish good relationships with all stakeholders and customers. This will enable you to deal with challenging situations in a professional manner and minimize any potential negative impact. [practical skills for improving (EI)] according to an article published in Forbes magazine in April 2019 by author Ann Holland, we can develop and improve our (EI) by practicing the following skills Level: 1. Be an active listener, including being aware of nonverbal hints; 2. Think clearly before speaking; constantly strive to improve your communication skills; 3. Praise others comfortably; 4.

If we want to be in a leading position in our career, we must constantly develop and improve ourselves in (EI) and specialty. [Conclusion] As a leader of a high-end security company operating for many years, he has experienced various people and situations. Here, I can tell you with certainty and responsibility that (EI) is the first professional skill of bodyguards, and it is the most basic and important skill.
