How does EQ differ from IQ?
EQ IQ
Focus: developing an
understanding of and an
ability to manage emotions
Focus: developing one’s
cognitive abilities; more
academically oriented
Can be enhanced
throughout one’s life
Generally thought to be largely
established at birth and cannot
be enhanced
Recently understood to be an
important predictor of one’s
potential for success
Has been traditionally used to
predict potential for one’s
success
Fosters understanding and
management of own emotions
Allows development of needed
knowledge base
Promotes positive relationships
Enables development of
technical skills and abilities
Increases self-motivation and drive Enables conceptual thinking

Research shows:
It distinguishes between star and average performers.
It applies across cultures and occupations.
Good managers are adept at controlling emotions, accepting feedback and adjusting behavior.
Manager Emotional Intelligence predicts employee engagement and performance.
Stocks of companies whose employees have high self-awareness outperform those whose employees have low self-
awareness.
It can be learned and developed!

Brain Systems
Our brains have 2 “operating systems.”
1. One is fast and looks for quick and easy
solutions. It is often irrational. It is often
wrong. This
is our default operating system.
2. The other is logical, slow, effortful, and
cautious.

Coaching and its Focus
Coaching is “an informed dialogue whose
purpose is the facilitation of new skills,
possibilities, and insights in the interest of
individual learning and organizational
advancement.”
Coaching may focus on:
Behaviour
Decision-making
Fundamental beliefs, values and purposes
Overall business performance

Coaching distinctions
Non-judgmental listening is the key.
There’s value when another person is a stand for you to be your
word.
There’s leverage when one can distinguish experience from
explanation.
Coaching unconceals our blind spots and makes choice
possible.
Moods are contagious. Noticing them is essential.
Being able to shift them is a precondition for personal power.
Humor (especially not taking oneself too seriously) lightens the
mood and enables learning.

An opinion about
the value of coaching
“Coaching is the single most
important part of expanding others’
capabilities… (Coaching) is the
difference between giving orders and
teaching people how to get things
done. Good leaders regard every
encounter as an opportunity to
coach.”
22
Goleman’s competencies model
23
1. emotional awareness
2. accurate self assessment
3. self-confidence
The inability to notice our true feelings leaves us at
their mercy.
People with greater certainty about their feelings
are better pilots of their lives
Have a surer sense about how they feel about
personal decisions.
With self-awareness, person has 50-50 chance
(49%) of demonstrating self-management; without it,
person has virtually no chance (4%).
With self-awareness, person has 38% chance of
having social awareness; without it, person has 83%
chance of lacking social awareness.

Understand emotions
Recognizes what events are likely to trigger different
emotions
Knows that emotions can combine to form complex
blends of feelings
Realizes that emotions can progress over time and
transition from one to another
Provides a rich emotional vocabulary for greater
precision in describing feelings and blends of feelings

Manage emotions
A. Immediately confront the colleague saying
that you did the research?
B. After the meeting, take the colleague aside
& tell him/her that in the future you would
appreciate credit for the work you did.
C. Nothing. It’s best not to embarrass
colleagues in public.
D. After the colleague speaks, publicly thank
him/her for referencing your work &
provide additional details about the work.
Research findings:
Significant relationship between managing
emotions ability and burnout and mental
health
Teams with higher scores for managing
emotions received higher performance
rankings
You are in a meeting when a colleague takes credit
for the work you have done. What do you do?
Suppose you are brilliant in a particular domain of study.
Or suppose you happen to have a great idea for a project (or both).
What kinds of emotional and cognitive intelligence are needed to see the project
through to completion?

EI Competence Workshop 1
EI vs. IQ
 An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score derived fro
one of several different standardized tests attemptin
to measure intelligence.
 First used in 1918 by American Army recruits.
 Reasons of high IQ
– Better nutrition
– More children completing more schooling
– Computer games and puzzles
– Smaller family size
 More IQ results in lower EI in children
– More emotionally disturbed than the last
– More lonely and depress
– More angry and unruly
– More nervous and prone to worry
– More impulsive and aggressive

Emotional Hijacking
Withstanding the Hijack
In order to think rationally and respond
rather than react emotionally, we need to
allow the information to reach the rest of
the brain.
We can do this by becoming aware of our
emotional triggers and learning to take a
moment before reacting.
These skills are key components of
Emotional Intelligence.
We feel before we think; everything that
we sense has already been filtered
through our emotional brain.
When danger is sensed, we react
emotionally first before the information
has reached any part of the cerebral
cortex that allows us to process and think
rationally
When what we sense reminds us of a past
threat, we react with the same intense
emotions; we may not even be aware of
the memory that has been triggered.
34
Coping with Emotions
We typically deal with emotions one of four ways:
1) exaggerating the emotion so that we are overwhelmed by them and lose control;
2) accepting the emotion and not try to regain control;
3) substituting the emotion with something more comfortable like distractions; or
4) managing the emotion through self-awareness.
7 basic emotions
Which emotions do you feel most
often ?
% of the day why?
Anger
Happiness
Fear
Disgust
Surprise
Love
Sadness
35
Anger
Blood rushes to our hands so we can fight.
It can be an expression of frustration, stress,
anxiety, loss, confusion, embarrassment,
jealousy, rejection, threat, etc.
It is one of the most dangerous emotions
because it is energizing, and the more often we
are angry, the less arousal we need to stay in
this state. Anger builds momentum.
36
Fear
Blood rushes to our arms and legs so we can
run or fight.
It immobilizes us and forces us into fright, flight
or freeze.
It is connected to worry, anxiety, stress,
nervousness, panic, paranoia, and phobias.
It is sometimes expressed as anger.
37
Sadness
Metabolism slows, giving us time to mourn.
It comes from not getting what you want or a fear of what
might happen.
When sad, many people try to isolate themselves, but this
cuts us off from resources to get over the sadness.
It is connected to depression, shame, disappointment,
regret, guilt, embarrassment, and insecurity.

1. Control Behaviour by
Understanding Emotions
42
2. Mentally rehearse
situations that set off emotional triggers
43
3. Force your brain into action
by solving a problem
44
4. Engage in healthy escapism
45
5. The send button is not your
friend
46
6. Walk away from tense
situations
47
7. Speak clearly and with decorum
in emotionally charged situations
Recognizing emotions is hard
People don’t understand the impact of emotions on
others
We overestimate that our feelings are known by
others
Emotions are contagious – for good or bad
By changing behavior, we influence our attitudes and
beliefs through neural rewiring

Emotional Contagion and Team
Performance
The affect (emotional behaviour) of the leaders plays a major role in team performance. You can see this clearly in the way
“everyone just knows” when boss is having a bad day.
The way feelings spread from one person to another is called “emotional contagion.”

EQ and Development Programs

fact, over 60% in the variation of these “life success” factors is predicted by emotional intelligence. Keeping that in mind many organizations
started various programs.
