Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships.
Travis Bradberry (from the book Emotional Intelligence 2.0)
2. Emotions Are Data…
• For understanding
ourselves and others.
• For making decisions.
• For initiating action.
• For protecting us.
3. “Denial of our emotions isn’t the only
danger we face when we rely too
heavily on our left brain. We can also
become too literal, leaving us without a
sense of perspective, where we miss the
meaning that comes from putting
things in context (a specialty of the
right brain).”
-Daniel Siegel
4. EQ vs. IQ Defined
Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Emotional intelligence
is your ability to recognize and understand emotions
in yourself and others, and your ability to use this
awareness to manage your behavior and
relationships. (Goleman & Boyatzis)
Cognitive Intelligence (IQ): Your ability to learn and
understand new situations, reason through a given
problem, and apply knowledge to a current situation.
5. Why is EQ so Important?
IQ + Skills + EQ
Required for complex jobs, especially leadership positions
6. Emotional Intelligence
“In the fields I have studied,
emotional intelligence is much more
powerful than IQ in determining
who emerges as a leader. IQ is a
threshold competence. You need it,
but it doesn’t make you a star.
Emotional intelligence can.”
- Warren Bennis, author of On Becoming a Leader
