Daniel Goleman on Leadership and The Power of Emotional Intelligence

Via Scoop.it – personnel psychology

IQ tells you what level of cognitive complexity a person can manage in their job: you need high levels for top management, the professions, the sciences, while lower levels work fine in lower echelons.   Emotional intelligence competencies are learned abilities like the drive to achieve and emotional self-control, both of which build on underlying EI components like self-management. Self-awareness is one of four EI domains (the others: self-management, social awareness and relationship management). A powerful way to boost self-awareness is to undergo a 360-degree evaluation by people you know well and trust evaluating you on the EI competencies.
