ASSESSMENT TASK 2.2 - EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE CASE STUDY
This assessment task will require you to consider the following scenario and address several the issues identified. This should be by preparing a short report for management as well as delivering a collaborative training session to your colleagues including your manager.
The Scenario
Miguel is a new worker from South America. He commenced at your organisation six months ago and is based on the assembly line of your factory where you bottled water for a large soft drink supplier.
You are the supervisor of the section where Miguel works and during the past 4 weeks you have been receiving feedback from his co-workers. It has been reported that that he is becoming angry quite regularly with those colleagues he is in direct contact with on the assembly line. This includes those that are in the filling process before his as well as the final boxing process which follows
Miguel's section.
Whilst you have not observed this behaviour personally, you have received this feedback from multiple sources. This has prompted you to speak with your HR Adviser as you require some advice as to how to handle this situation. Your HR Advisor has subsequently recommended that you facilitate a meeting with Miguel to determine what the issues are and work out potential solutions to support him.
You arrange and facilitate a meeting with Miguel who asks for a support person to be present. This is to help assist with any language and communication issues that may arise due to Miguel's limited English comprehension level.
During the course of the meeting you are able to determine that Miguel is feeling anger towards his assembly line colleagues because he believes they are too slow and he has to wait for them to finish before he can start on the next item on the assembly line. He also divulges that he is having some issues with his family at home which is causing him some stress and anxiety whilst at work as it means he is not able to be at home to help support his partner.
You are now feeling ready to start addressing this situation in conjunction with your colleagues and your Manager.
ASSESSMENT 2.2A: REPORTING BACK
Your manager has requested a written report which should be based on the outcomes of your meeting including the following topics:
Any cultural behaviors and beliefs that may be impacting Miguel's interactions with his workplace colleagues
Suggestions for how you and your team may be able to recognise and respond to the emotional states of Miguel or other employees in your workplace
Recommendations for how your own emotional intelligence can support and enhance your team's performance
ASSESSMENT 2.2B: TRAINING SESSION
The topics/content you might cover if you were to facilitate a training session with your team to promote the development of emotional intelligence of each of the teams in your workplace including:
How you can provide opportunities for team members to express their thoughts and feelings
The methods you can adopt to assist your team members to understand the effects of their behaviour and emotions on others
