IQ ... or ... EQ?
Facts ... or ... Feelings?
Head ... or ... Heart?
Task ... or ... Trust?
In today’s competitive business climate, the choices seem easy.
After all, won't successful business people say:
“Give me smart people (IQ) ...
Give me objective people (Facts)...
Give me analystical people (Head)...
Give me people who can get the job done (Task)..”?
Tricky questions!
Yes, facts, IQ, head and task are necessary competencies for today's workforce.
But they're also woefully inadequate and surprisingly insufficient to create success.
In the 21st century EQ -- a 'new' type of intelligence represented by the feelings, heart, and trust elements -- is the core of sustained business success.
What Is EQ?
EQ stands for Emotional intelligence.
It's “an array of emotional and social competencies that determine how we
relate with ourselves and others, and how we deal with the demands and pressures
of our work and family lives.”
Daniel Goleman, the father of EQ psychological research, says that EQ is
a learned capability that results in outstanding performance at work.
And what organization doesn't need outstanding performance?
The bad news: the old IQ is “hard-wired” and mostly hereditary.
The great news: the new EQ can be learned, developed and enhanced!
In other words, all of us have gaps in some area or other of EQ.
But we can all set goals, practice specific behaviors and monitor our progress!
