“Emotional Intelligence”
Fact or Fiction?
• The people who make the most creative achievements in organizations are not those with the highest IQ – but those with high Emotional Intelligence.
• Leaders fail, not because of their technical ability but because of their inability to handle change, their inability to work in a team and their poor interpersonal relations – problems not in IQ but in Emotional Intelligence.
• When IQ test scores are correlated with how well people perform, the highest estimate of how much difference IQ accounts for is about 25 percent. This means that IQ alone (at best) leaves 75 percent of job success unexplained – it does not determine who succeeds and who fails.
Emotional Intelligence
• The ability to get along with others and to get them to cooperate with you.

• Leaders should understand: Range of emotions people have How emotions manifest themselves
