Inspirational leader and world known Emotional Intelligence expert and legendary author, Dr Daniel Goleman recently delivered a talk on “Emotional Intelligence and Leadership” in New Delhi.
He explained how emotional intelligence contributes to the bottom line in any work organization. Based on data from a variety of sources, it can be a valuable tool for HR practitioners and managers who need to make the case in their own organizations.
On the occasion, Dr Goleman launched the Hindi translation of book written by Indian author and bureaucrat Dr Dalip Singh.
Speaking on the occasion he said, “If your emotional abilities are not in hand, if you are not able to manage your emotions, if you do not have empathy, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get far.”
The book has been published in all main Indian languages and also in English and Chinese.
The book helps us to know what determines professional success? Is it primarily your intelligence level or intelligence quotient (IQ), or is it your personality characteristics, or is it a combination of several things?.
According to the proponents of emotional intelligence (EQ), a person’s emotional make-up largely determines his or her professional success. They believe that EQ is the most important determinant of the extent of professional and personal success in life. It is interesting to note that so many people with high IQ fail whereas those with less intellectual endowment are extremely successful.
Even in certain renowned business establishments, where people are trained to be smart, the most valued and productive managers are those who have a high emotional intelligence level, and not necessarily those with the highest IQ.
Such examples abound in business, politics, academia and administration. It is increasingly recognised that IQ may account for only about 20 per cent of a person's success in life. The remaining 80 per cent depends largely on a person's emotional intelligence, i.e., EQ.
The conference was attended by more than 400 CEO and senior management from business, corporate, academician and Public and private Sector Companies.
