What is Emotional Intelligence?
The most successful companies and individuals are the ones that adapt their culture and communication around the key elements of Emotional Intelligence (EI). Many experts contend that EI is more important than the Intelligent Quotient (IQ) and actually accounts for 80% of professional success. According to Daniel Goleman, the frontrunner of EQ , Emotional Intelligence is categorized into four quadrants, and it helps build and maintain healthy personal and professional thoughts, actions, and relationships. Workspaces and companies across the nation have now identified EI as a defining factor in company culture, productivity, and increased results. Today, companies around the world are incorporating the idea of Emotional Intelligence into their professional perspective and strategic outlook. According to David L. Van Rooy Ph.d, the Senior Director, Global Leader Development of Walmart, and author of Trajectory: 7 Career Strategies to Take You From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, “A correlation between EI and improved performance, and the validity of EI has held constant across the different performance domains, from the workplace to academic.”
