Every morning in Asia, a tiger wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest deer or it will starve to death.

Every morning in Asia, a deer wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest tiger or it will be killed.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a tiger or a deer: when the sun comes up, you’d better be running…..

Are You a Tiger or a Deer?

Emotional Intelligence (EI) & EQEmotional Intelligence (EI) & EQEmotional Intelligence, also called EI and often measured as an Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ), describes an ability, capacity, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups.

“Anyone can become angry – that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not easy.”

Emotional Intelligence by BarOnEmotional Intelligence by BarOn

“The measurement of emotional intelligence in the workplace is the first step towards improving it. The truly intelligent leader is one who is not only “cogtelligent” (cognitively intelligent) but also “emtelligent” 

(emotionally intelligent).”

Reuven Bar-On who coined the term "EQ" in 1985.

Amygdala

Thalamus

Sensory signals from hearing and sight travel from the thalamus then on to both the neocortex (the “thinking” brain) and amygdala (center of emotional intelligence) simultaneously. The amygdala is a faster processor.

The amygdala’s processing of information includes physiological responses (increased heartbeat, glandular secretions, etc.)

‘Amygdala Hijack’‘Amygdala Hijack’

This is what happens when people “lose it”

They lose control and end up in a place they didn’t want to be — their emotions are not used effectively

They erupt, shut down, do something extra‐ordinarily brave, or otherwise act irrationally

On reflection they find it hard to explain why they acted as they did

What makes us “snap” (e.g. Road Rage; Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield's ear during WBA Match on  June 28, 1997; Zinedine Zidane’s head butt during 2006 World Cup’s Finals Soccer Match)

"A leader's intelligence has to have a strong emotionalcomponent. He has to have high self‐awareness, maturity and self‐control. He must be able to withstand the heat, handle setbacks and when those lucky moments arise, enjoy success with equal parts of joy and humility. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is more rare than book smarts (IQ), but it is actually more important in the making of a leader."

Jack Welch, former Chairman & CEO of GE Inc.Speaking to The Wall Street Journal

Level 5 Leaders: Many people have the potential to be Level 5

Ambitious for the organization – not for themselves

Set up their successors for even greater success

Display modesty, are self‐effacing and understated

Are driven by a need to produce results

Credit success to others but take responsibility for failure

Answer for Scenario 1The Credit Stealing Colleague:The most emotionally intelligent answer is D. By demonstrating an awareness of work‐place dynamics, and an ability to control your emotional responses, publicly recognizing your own accomplishments in a non‐threatening manner, will disarm your colleague as well as puts you in a better light with your manager and peers. Public confrontations can be ineffective, are likely to cause your colleague to become defensive.

A. 0 Points – Immediately and publicly confront the colleague over theownership of your work.

B. 5 Points – After the meeting, take the colleague aside and tell her that youwould appreciate in the future that she credits you when speaking about yourwork.
