Research has shown time and again high IQ does not necessarily translate to success. Individuals may be academically or technically competent but may not utilize the fundamental resources available to them which allow others to connect with them. This is the underlying missing link which segregates brain competence (IQ, technical, academia) and emotional competence (self-awareness, social skills, perseverance, empathy).
In a world where technology is beginning to replace peoples’ competence, there may come a time when we may just lose the heart and soul of the corporation. EQ is the need dimension which takes service from being good to delightful. Being EQ competent not only enhances your chances of success at work but also your success in other aspects of your life, through happier and healthier relationships. Practicing the elements related to emotional intelligence in service helps people work with passion, access the intrinsic drive that makes every encounter a people centred one. You will notice the difference when warmth and a love for what one does is missing in any encounter.
