Emotional intelligence is the X factor for success. (unknown quote)
Intelligence is not found in books, neither is it something which can be inherited. We all have our quirks and the most transferable of this is the superiority complex which many nurture.
Gone are the days where organisations were run by rule books and hierarchy. In todays world accepting our limits and giving respect to our co-workers is how successful organisations are flourishing.
Success a 7 letter word has many connotations in today's scenario . This dwells when people are happy , involved, respected, engaged, satisfied, process driven and highly paid. Many companies are now hiring mid level mangers and executives not as per the skill set but the attitude to learn and evolve as a manager/ leader in the organisation. IQ its an added advantage.
When did emotions come in play in the logical, cut throat and ruthless capital world.
I love this line in Freakonomics " Emotion is the enemy of rational argument".
Biased decisions don't go a long way at work, neither do biased promotions or hires work. So if these decisions were made by emotion driven managers, how well do they cope with Emotional Intelligence?
I was asked once if common sense and intelligence were partners in crime. Well to answer this question one needs to understand what does common sense and intelligence have in common. Ideally when a human is above average in understanding is known as being intelligent and when the same human uses his/ her intelligence for the better good of society by being an example of social and civic values probably should be termed common sense. I am not sure of this definition but to most common sense does not need high IQ.
But these days my favourite trending quote is "Common sense has nothing to do with intelligence."
There are lots of intelligent people out there with no common sense at all". We are badgering people with the hindsight of no common sense. Yet i cannot understand the definition of common sense more than the next person.
