The Importance of Emotional IntelligenceEmotional Intelligence – what is it?Dr. Rueven Bar-On, internationally known expert and pioneer in the field of emotional intelligence, has been involved in defining, measuring and applying various aspects of emotional intelligence since 1980. Coining the term “Emotional Quotient,” or “EQ”, Dr. Bar-On defines emotional intelligence as “the aspect of human intelligence that governs our ability to recognize, understand, control and use emotions in solving problems of a personal and interpersonal nature.” Numerous studies on emotional intelligence show that people with higher EQ are more likely to be successful in performance and effectiveness than those with lower EQ - especially those with leadership and management roles. According to the book, The EQ Edge, intelligence quotient (IQ) can predict only 1%-20% of success in a given job while EQ has been able to predict 27%-45% of success. In a survey of 733 multi-millionaires as published by Thomas Stanley in his book, The Millionaire Mind, the top five factors for their success were reflective of emotional intelligence. IQ was ranked as number 21 out of 30 factors listed. Leadership Success and Derailment Survey
