We now have over three decades of research on emotional intelligence (EI). Yale University has its Centre for the Study of Emotional Intelligence. Google, Nike, Amazon and Microsoft base their leadership development programs on EI. The World Economic Forum has listed EI as a top-ten employment skill.
And yet, the concept of EI or EQ remains poorly understood by many. What exactly is EI/EQ and why is it so important that HR professional know and understand why it matters to employee development and organizational effectiveness? Research provides us with concrete, evidence-based models of EI, which allow us to assess levels of competency (EQ) and provide roadmaps or ‘blueprints’ for development.
