Leading companies “mining” workforce for emotional intelligence
Develop your emotional
intelligence.
Apple, Southwest Airlines, Google, Infosys, Disney,
Whole Foods, Fed Ex and a growing number of other companies are systematically “mining” the workforce in search of
emotionally intelligent individuals. These organizations realize
that those people are the primary source of their success. They are proving
that the path to superior business results is through the development of the
emotional intelligence within their organizations.
Emotional intelligence capabilities have been shown to
increase results far
more than IQ or technical expertise. Studies have shown it
typically takes an IQ of 110-120 to get an advanced degree like an MBA which
focuses primarily on left brain cognitive abilities. There is a high selection
pressure for IQ to enter the executive ranks within corporations and relatively
little variation among those who are in those ranks. But there has been
little or no selection pressure when it comes to emotional intelligence.
And so there is a much wider range of EI variation among individuals.
Superiority in these capabilities counts far more than IQ when it comes to
performance. Within companies actively engaged in organizational change
emotional intelligence has become the key hiring and promotional
consideration.
Apple is the world’s first trillion dollar company.
