What approach would best help Jorge build his EQ and fit with his new team?

• A. Create a working brainstorming session with representatives from the impacted parties, ensure everyone's voice is heard and evaluate each idea on its merits as far as efficiency and quality and have each representative approve the path forward only after any fatal flaws or points of disagreement are negotiated.
• B. Impress his new team with his knowledge by lecturing them on all his great successes.
• C. Actively listen by ignoring others' ideas and insisting on his own way.
• D. Remain silent and let others lead without contributing.

Answer: (A)

Building EQ and fitting with a new team hinges on inclusive, collaborative communication. Organizing a working brainstorming session with representatives from impacted parties shows respect for diverse perspectives and creates a safe space where everyone can contribute. By making sure each voice is heard and evaluating ideas for efficiency and quality, Jorge demonstrates social awareness and fair decision-making. Reaching agreement only after negotiating any fatal flaws or disagreements builds trust and shared ownership, which strengthens team cohesion from the start. This approach matters because it moves beyond showcasing personal knowledge or dictating a path. It fosters listening, empathy, and collaboration—key elements of healthy relationships and effective leadership within a team. The other options miss those signals: lecturing or dominating shuts down input and undermines trust; ignoring others’ ideas and insisting on his own way shows poor listening and respect; staying silent and letting others lead without contributing misses opportunities to connect and contribute meaningfully.
