Emotional Intelligence at Work

Duration: 1 Day
 
At the risk of oversimplifying, emotional intelligence or the emotional quotient (EQ) is the dimension of intelligence responsible for our ability to manage ourselves and our relationships with others.
 
In the business world, a lot of emphasis has been placed on intellect. It has been on the IQ and all of the analytical, factual, and measured reasoning power that IQ represents. Make no mistake, however; intellect has proven invaluable to drive our success in business.
 
It is only however, through reaching a higher level of competence in business, by blending our IQ with our EQ that we will solve retention and morale problems, improve our creativity, create synergy from teamwork, speed our information by way of sophisticated people networks, drive our purpose and ignite the best and most inspired performance from our followers.
