What is Emotional Intelligence?
The ability to manage ourselves and our relationships effectively.

Another way to think about EI
For every action (or lack of action) there is a reaction or consequence.
• For every interaction (or lack of interaction) there is a reaction or consequence.
Simply put, emotional intelligence is…
Understanding the reaction or consequence any given interaction (or lack thereof) will
produce and acting in such a way to intentionally attain the reaction or
consequences you desire.

Challenge #1: IQ vs. EI
Common Assumption: I am very intelligent and my finance and technical skills are top notch. My analytical skills are very well developed. I don’t need emotional intelligence. Those “soft skills” won’t matter much, especially if I am smart and my technical skills are superior.
Reality: IQ and intelligence are important but they are threshold capabilities, meaning they are entry level requirements for executive positions. Emotional intelligence is the “sine qua non” of leadership. Without it, a person can have the best training, an incisive, analytical mind, and an endless supply of great ideas, but she/he still won’t make a great leader.
The most effective leaders share one common trait: they all have a high degree of emotional intelligence.

What is Leadership?
Delivering results through people.

Challenge #2: What if I don’t want to be a leader?
Describe a situation, professional or social, in which emotional intelligence capabilities are not useful or
relevant for success?
• Leadership is not a prerequisite for emotional intelligence.
• Emotional intelligence is relevant to anyone living in a society with other people.
• Emotional intelligence is a prerequisite for anyone who wants to be an effective leader.

“The Wyatt consulting firm published a study in 2000, which states that significantly improving human capital practices can create a 30 percent increase in stockholder value.”
If your employees give you top scores to the following questions, the company is well on its way to a engaged and productive workplace:
Do I know what is expected of me at work? Do I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right? Do I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day? In the last seven days, have I received recognition or praise for good work? Does my supervisor, or someone at work, seem to care about me as a person? Is there someone at work who encourages my development?

Growing EI• EI can be learned
• Take months, not days
• You can’t go to a seminar or read a “how to” manual to learn it
• EI is born in the neurotransmitters of the brain’s limbic system which governs feelings, impulses, and drives
• The limbic system learns best through motivation, extended practice and feedback
• EI also increases with age or maturity
• Discover your strengths and weaknesses
•Personality tests such as Myers Briggs
•Ask for feedback
•Create a life plan outlining what you want accomplish in life and how to achieve those goals

Our Broad Plan:
• IQ and technical expertise are “threshold competencies”. A certain level of IQ and knowledge or technical expertise is necessary to get you in the door.
• It is the combination of emotional intelligence and technical knowledge that separate the star performers from the average ones.
• We provide planned personal development, to assure that each Associate has the right balance of skills for future leadership success.

To be an effective, positive leader, I believe that you need, at a minimum, the following characteristics.
1. You have to be genuinely interested in, and like, people. Show them tolerance, patience, respect and empathy. Drown them in a tsunami of gratitude for their marvelous works. Show them that you admire, value and love them as individuals, rather than just as "producers." Through
word, and by deed, join in their every personal exaltation and their every personal mishap and grief. People will respond with an esprit de corps--a
desire to perform because they want to, not because they have to. An organization bound by love is far more powerful than one bound by fear.
