When starting out a job/mentorship, young job candidates often face many challenges in the workplace. Some challenges include failing to show up on time, gossiping about other colleagues and never developing a good, strong work ethic. Also, young workers often treat their workplace like its their home, by being sloppy and unclean. After they do these actions for a certain period of time, they are embarassing themselves and it shows that they have a lack of work etiquette.
Social intelligence is “The capacity to effectively negotiate complex social relationships and environments.” By having social intelligence, this means that young workers need to have the ability to get along with their co-workers and work easily in their work-place. It's mainly to develop healthy relationships. Ways to propose social intelligence include empathy, attunement, social cognition, concern, self-presentation and influence. Social intelligence is important because it helps to make a first impression with your boss in an interview and with co-workers in the work-place. It also makes young workers more marketable and it differentiates them from their co-workers.
One thing that spoke to me about this article is that how insufficient young workers are. I had no idea how they can be so sloppy and lazy. I hope when I start my job in the future, I won't be that bad. I will try to gain more social intelligence and learn from others how to get along with my colleagues.
