"Emotional Intelligence" refers to your
capacity and skills to recognize your own feelings and those of others, for
motivating yourself,
and for managing emotions well in yourself and in your
relationships. "It describes abilities distinct from, but complementary
to, academic intelligence, the purely cognitive capabilities measured by IQ.
Many people who are book smart but lack emotional intelligence end up
working for people who have lower IQs than they but who excel in emotional
intelligence skills."1
Emotional Quotient (EQ) vs.
Intellectual Quotient (IQ)
Emotional Quotient (EQ) is complementary to your IQ. If IQ is your ability to think (your mind), EQ is your
ability to feel (your heart).
Emotionally intelligent people understand and manage
emotions; they know their emotional strengths and what they are not so good
at. Having a high EQ means you know what you are good at and know how to use
your emotional strengths to your full advantage while keeping your emotional
weaknesses from holding you back.
Some researches say that the emotional intelligence and IQ
contribute to a personal success in 9/1 proportion.
Emotional Intelligence a
Key to Effective Leadership
Research1 show that
67% of the essential competencies required for
effective leadership today are emotional
competencies. Emotionally intelligent leaders are more likely to
achieve results and are effective in dealing with the complexity
involved in leading change and
organizational
transformation.
Transformational leadership
arouses emotion and taps into the emotional and spiritual resources of an
organization. It provides the emotional glue that causes organizations and
the people in them to excel.

"Our leaders have done every kind of
strategic planning in the book,
facilitated by the best business school professors and management gurus.
They don't need another
strategy,
and the last thing they need is another stakeholder analysis! What the
company's leaders
need most is to become emotionally engaged with their own
passion
and their
dreams with each other and with the strategy," said a top
manager of Unilever when the
corporate transformation
team began to design a program to help the company become more
enterprising and competitive
industry leader.
