Managing through emotions
Emotions : get in motion
The word emotion means to set in motion, to rise up. It finds its origin in the revolts. Much later, this word will be used to characterize our mood movements and declined in 6 primary emotions :
Primary emotions
- Joy
- Sadness
- Fear
- Disgust
- Anger
- Surprise
But well beyond this classification, emotions are a harmonization with our context, a setting in motion. Emotions are our compass!
In business, empathetic managers encourage and set their teams in motion! Emotional Intelligence is one of their natural attributes. Attributes of which we are all custodians. It is up to us to make good use of it.
Manager, try the TEIQue
Daniel Goleman, in his book “Emotional Intelligence” shows how the analysis of his emotions is an indicator of performance by influencing our behavior, our reactions and our coping skills. For the author, emotional intelligence is the best predictor of success and achievement.
The TEIQue synthesizes the work of Daniel Goleman by proposing a simple reading grid for individual emotional traits. TEIQue, test your emotions
The TEIQUe brings to emotional intelligence what the APP (Personal Profile Analysis), brings to the study of our behavior (DISC).
The TEIQue test (Trait emotionnal intelligence questionnaire) allows the manager to understand himself and to equip himself with a powerful analysis tools for:
- understand the emotions of your employees
- Recruit candidates with good communication skills
- Improve the skills of employees in terms of management
- Understand how an employee manages their relationships
- Foster engagement and retention across your business
- Recruit candidates with a good level of emotional intelligence
5-Give a hand
“What makes a person’s strength is not their ability to lift a weight but their ability to lighten the weight of others.”

A responsible model
The World Economic Forum’s platform for shaping the future of consumption seeks to promote responsible consumption models for the benefit of people and the planet. One of the areas of focus is environmental degradation caused by plastic pollution, which the platform is addressing through its initiative “Consumers Beyond Disposability”.
This report, produced in collaboration with Kearney, explores the main findings of this initiative and proposes an alternative model for reducing plastic waste. It begins by examining the three main actors of systems change – consumers, businesses and the public sector – then introduces the Reuse Sustainability Framework, a proprietary tool to answer some of the key questions raised by business leaders. business and public sector decision makers about reuse, how to make it scalable and sustainable. The report concludes by examining three potential scenarios for developing a reuse economy by 2030.
6-Set your organization in motion
Today the change is permanent
How to allocate resources to change when these are already 100% mobilized to deliver production on a daily basis?
The pace of the work has accelerated to the point that the next job has to be started before the previous one has been completed. The works are no longer temporary, but permanent.
The organization of the company must combine adaptation and movement while remaining extremely coherent.
Complex or simple? It is a real headache for managers, who strive to give meaning to contradictory orders: change, but continue as before … Transform, but do not touch what has been acquired .. Develop, but do not recruit. .. Encourage, but control …
The passage of this liner marks the water … in an ephemeral way. The movement is there, and it is staying the course. It traces the road. The path behind him leaves no trace.
It’s up to us to choose whether we want to trace the route, or leave a trace.
In order to move, “historic” companies must regain mobility, while maintaining a constant and fluid movement to open the way for teams … and let them act freely.
Setting your organization in motion does not mean knowing everything, it is keeping a course book in which you will juggle the present.
Simplicity is opening up to what you don’t know
It’s driving action and seeing its impact
It’s about managing conflicts and supporting confrontation
It is accepting that the path/ voice changes depending on the unforeseen
It’s opening the door to your intuitions and that of the team
It’s back to basics, the human

7-Deploy with discernment, discern
Managers : support your teams
Our article “Managers: support your teams” challenges the question of meaning. Deploying with discernment, discerning is a challenge that each manager must take up. Nothing is taken for granted. Any misconception can have its opposite … In the age of fake news, the ethical business must gain ground and provide proof of its authenticity.
Discernment is a know-how that must be rediscovered in oneself, in order to be able to lead one’s team with confidence.
Work on your discernment
In our article “2 approaches to work on your discernment”, we offer some exercises to :
Explain, understand in our interactions what is in the order of the subjective and what is in the order of the factual, in order to establish healthier relationships. Team interactions are significantly improved.
Thus, by cultivating his discernment, each one develops the quality of his judgment and his capacity to make choices. Try !
8-Make harmonious and fluid any act that engages others, harmonize
4 golden rules
To make harmonious what engages others is to apply the 4 golden rules which are for me the basis of a successful transformation.
In the present, transform is being aware of its impact. Our mood, our judgment, our encouragement are brakes. Only the setting in motion allows the team to engage and enter the movement.
Open the way for the team and step aside, keeping your hand outstretched. It is a way of making the act of others harmonious and fluid
This action, this non-action, is barely perceptible … And yet it transforms our daily life into little happiness, and the joy of being together!
