alentSmart has tested the emotional intelligence of more than a million people worldwide and found that Millennials have the lowest self-awareness in the workplace, making them unlikely to see that their smartphone use in meetings is harming their careers. Why do so many people—especially successful people—find smartphone use in meetings to be inappropriate? When you take out your phone it shows a: Lack of respect. You consider the information on your phone to be more important than the conversation at hand, and you view people outside of the meeting to be more important than those sitting right in front of you. Lack of attention. You are unable to stay focused on one thing at a time. Lack of listening. You aren’t practicing active listening, so no one around you feels heard. Lack of power. You are like a modern-day Pavlovian dog who responds to the whims of others through the buzz of your phone. Lack of self-awareness: You dont understand how ridiculous your behavior looks to other people. Lack of social awareness: You dont understand how your behavior affects those around you.
