Self-Awareness is the ability to recognize and understand personal moods and

and to correctly identify and name one's emotions.
Self-Management is the ability to control or redirect disruptive impulses and
moods, and the propensity to suspend judgment and to think before acting.
Hallmarks include trustworthiness and integrity; comfort with ambiguity; and
openness to change.
Social Awareness, or Empathy, is the ability to understand the emotional makeup
of other people. A skill in treating people according to their emotional reactions.
Hallmarks include expertise in building and retaining talent, cross-cultural
sensitivity, and service to clients and customers. (In an educational context,
empathy is often thought to include, or lead to, sympathy, which implies concern, or
care or a wish to soften negative emotions or experiences in others.)
Relationship Management is the proficiency in managing relationships and
building networks, and an ability to find common ground and build rapport.
Hallmarks of Relationship Management include effectiveness in leading change,
persuasiveness, and expertise building and leading teams.
While not measured here, Internal Motivation is a passion to work for internal
reasons that go beyond money and status -which are external rewards, - such as an
inner vision of what is important in life, a joy in doing something, curiosity in
learning, a flow that comes with being immersed in an activity. A propensity to
pursue goals with energy and persistence. Hallmarks include a strong drive to
achieve, optimism even in the face of failure, and organizational commitment.
