8 Behaviours to determine.... Are YOU SMART?

Dr. Bill Lucas of the Talent Foundation understands what it means to be smart in today's complex world. He lists 8 key behaviours that "Make You Smart" however it is crucial to his notion that being smart is situational; behaviour that is effective in one situation could be decidedly ineffective in another. Nothing makes sense without an initial grasp on the circumstances that made up the situation. Being smart, just like leadership and management styles, is definitely situational. Do you demonstrate these behaviours?

1. Knowing how and when to use your intuition


2. Sensing other people's emotions and responding accordingly


3. Extracting meaning from experience


4. Applying expertise gained in one situation advantageously in another


5. Judging when taking risks is likely to be beneficial


6. Understanding your own strengths and weaknesses and playing to them


7. Recognising and channelling your emotions effectively


8. Bouncing back after a setback.
