1 You Listen First
Yоu tеnd to bе a gооd lіѕtеnеr. You’re genuinely curious about people and concerned about their issues. The focus here is not on you; it’s on them. It is a sign оf grеаt еmоtіоnаl intelligence аnd оnе thаt not аll оf uѕ hаvе any еаѕу tіmе wіth.
2 You’re Creative
You think outside the box. You leave behind your own biases and look at a situation from all other people’s perspectives. In turn, you try to come up with a solution where everybody wins.
3 You Don’t Accept The First Solution
Since you’re curious and creative, you tend to dig deeper. You know that the obvious solution isn’t always the best solution. You know that 10 heads are better than one and 20 hands are better than two. You use the team to come up with alternate solutions.
4 You’re Not Afraid Of Change
You have accepted the fact that change is inevitable. So, you aren’t insecure that your methods would one day become obsolete. You actually expect them to be. You’re always looking for what’s fresh and better.
Do you know of any senior inflight supervisors who are afraid of change?
5 You’re Not A Perfectionist
You understand that the world isn’t perfect and almost always things don’t go according to plan. As a result, you don’t get too frustrated. You don’t place blame on others either for failing to ‘live up’ to your expectations.
I guess you’d say that most passengers lack emotional intelligence for crying over not having their preferred meal choice.
6 You Don’t Dwell On the Past
You know that last flight was last flight. This flight is new. Mistakes, either yours or others, that happened before are gone and you’ve moved on. You don’t gossip about them anymore. You’ve learned from them and life goes on.
Do you know of any cabin crew who keeps mentioning how the crew on last flight messed up?
7 You Channel Your Anger
You accept the fact that you’ll get angry at some point. Most of the time our job gets so tough. Passengers can be very unreasonable that you feel your veins are about to pop. But you know how to channel your anger away from people. You probably let all your anger out on a punching bag at the gym or you use that anger to empower you to lift heavier weights. You end up having a better physique.
