IQ,EQ & SQ • IQ : Intelligence Quotient is a measure of your mental intelligence • EQ: Emotional Quotient is a measure of emotional intelligence • Emotional Intelligence is the sum of the strengths and weaknesses of your emotional competencies that influence how you handle yourself and others in coping with the demands of your business and personal life • SQ: Spiritual Quotient is a measure of your spiritual intelligence
Why EQ matters? • People with high EI (i.e, high EQ) are able to: • relate to others with compassion and empathy, • have well-developed social skill, • have emotional awareness to direct their action and behavior • There is a strong correlation between emotional intelligence and work performance
How EQ will help you? • Solve problems by using both logic and feelings • Be flexible in changing situations • Help other people express their needs • Calmly and thoughtfully respond to difficult people • Keep an optimistic and positive outlook • Continuously learn how to improve yourself and your organization
Emotional Quotient • EQ is NOT • Aptitude • Achievement • Vocational interest • Personality
EQ is: • Made up of short-term, tactical, dynamic skills that can be reliably measured • Improved by training, coaching, experience
Emotional quotient • Why do some people possess a greater emotional well-being? • Why are some people better able to achieve success in life? • Why do some people who are blessed with superior intellectual abilities seem to fail in life, while others with more modest gifts succeed?
Model of emotional intelligence • Intrapersonal interpersonal • Stress management adaptability • general mood • effective performance
Definition • “Emotional Intelligence is the aggregate of the strengths and weaknesses of your emotional competencies that influence how you handle yourself and others in coping with the demands and pressures of your business and personal life”

The Research • In every field, your EQ (emotional quotient) is 2 times as important as your cognitive abilities • Almost 90% of success in leadership is attributable to EQ.

How to increase your EQ • Conduct a “personal inventory.” • Analyze the setting & identify skills needed. • Enlist trusted friends. • Focus on a few competencies. • Practice, practice, practice. • Be observant and reflective. • Don’t expect immediate results. • Learn from your mistakes. • Acknowledge your successes
Exercise • Rate yourself according to these EQ-i factors • Which of the EQ-i factors would you most want to further develop and why? • What are 1 or 2 specific actions you could take starting today to enhance your EI?
