Did you know . . . ?
When it comes to defining intelligence, we typically think in terms of IQ or “intelligence quotient.” A few decades ago, however, a new definition of intelligence began to take shape that had nothing to do with conventional notions of intellect. Emotional intelligence, or EQ, refers to our capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and others. Furthermore, research suggests that EQ is actually more important than IQ for success in jobs at all levels.
In this program, you’ll learn about the four critical dimensions of EQ—self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management—and how these competencies drive our behavior and impact our outcomes:
In addition to familiarizing yourself with these four domains of emotional intelligence, you’ll learn ways to strengthen your own EQ to better manage stress, build fruitful relationships, and achieve superior results at work.
