7. What is S+EI?
Social and emotional
intelligence is the ability to be
aware of our own emotions and
those of others, in the moment,
and to use that information to
manage ourselves and manage
our relationships
A WORKING DEFINITION
8. Social + Emotional Intelligence:
A Leadership & Career Imperative
“Emotional intelligence is much more powerful than IQ
in determining who emerges as a leader.
IQ is a threshold competence. You need it,
but it doesn’t make you a star.
Emotional intelligence can.”
- Warren Bennis, author of On Becoming a Leader.
9. S + EI Enhance Leadership Skills and
Career Advancement
1. It provides a language and
framework for
understanding
2. An important skill set for
leaders and managers to
use and model
3. Vastly expands our
understanding of
ourselves and others
4. S+EI = Better Leadership
(and greater productivity,
employee engagement,
customer satisfaction, and
profitability)
“Leaders with higher S+EI
produce more powerful
business results and greater
profitability.”
-- Emotional Intelligence of Leaders: A
Profile of Top Executives, Steven Stein,
Leadership & Organization Development
Journal, 2009
10. Social + Emotional Intelligence
• “ 80 – 90% of the competencies that differentiate top
performance are in the domain of EI.”
Daniel Goleman in Working With Emotional Intelligence
• “EI is more than twice as predictive of business performance
than purely cognitive intelligence.”
Gerald Mount in The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Developing
International Business Capability
• “Leaders with higher social & emotional intelligence produce
more powerful business results and greater profitability.”
Steven Stein in Emotional Intelligence of Leaders: A Profile of Top
Executives, Leadership & Organization Development Journal
12. Attributes Exercise
Think of an individual in your life who has had a
tremendous positive impact on you in your life or in the
workplace – a friend, family member, mentor, supervisor,
colleague, or another person. . .
On sticky notes, jot down the attributes that make this
individual so special, the qualities that make you admire
this person – one attribute or quality per sticky note – 3
minimum, 5 maximum. When finished, just put these
aside for later.
“Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that,

- Mark Twain

Hostility is a little different from anger. Anger will often show up as an episode, where anger overcomes a person, and then they calm down, and after a while, they move on. Hostility, on the other hand, is a long, simmering anger. This is someone who carries a low level of simmering anger around inside them all the time. These people are often contemptuous of others, they judge people (and no one likes to be judged), they distrust people which often leads to micro-management, they come across as irritable and cynical and sarcastic.
Bring in current events if possible. There’s a great deal of media attention these days on the trend of bullying, and it’s no longer the sole province of the school yard. We are seeing bullying take place on college campuses (the recent incident of “hazing” on the band bus at Florida A&M University – that left a young man dead from internal injuries, and the highly publicized resignation of Gregory Jaczko, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, who was forced to resign after a year of intense criticism over his abrasive, bullying management style. The four commissioners at the NRC – 2 Democrats and 2 Republicans – took the unprecedented step last year of complaining to the White House about Jaczko. They described him as having a hot temper, and as using threats and intimidation to get his way. In congressional hearings, he denied bullying employees and making them cry. The agency’s inspector general, an internal watchdog, released a report a year ago about Jaczko’s abrasive, belittling, threatening management style and the climate of fear generated in the culture. This report caused a great deal of turmoil and rancor, and after a year of ongoing complaints, Jaczko was forced to submit his resignation to the President on May 21, 2012.
She was great when she was first hired. Everyone liked her and appreciated her helpfulness. But as time went by, she became more and more obviously frustrated with the people around her and with the processes and procedures the organization followed. She insisted that other people change the way they did things, and threw a tantrum when they wouldn’t follow her direction. She would suddenly erupt in shouting tirades, rage, and blaming, and just couldn’t tolerate any opposing opinions. Now, because she will erupt at any moment, the rest of the office tiptoes around as if they are walking on eggshells in hopes they won’t set her off. She’s become a completely ineffective employee that everyone avoids.
We all know people like this – people who are off-the-charts brilliant, very high IQ, but very little EQ. Some of you may remember the author Robert Fulghum who wrote Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Lessons like “play fair,” and “don’t hit people,” and “Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody,” and “Life a balanced life.” These are all really good lessons, and somehow, as we grow up and get caught up in a world going 90 million miles around us, we sometimes forget these simple, but important things. BTW, you will sometimes see emotional intelligence expressed as “EQ.” Whenever you see “Q,” this means “quotient” which is really a measure of intelligence, usually expressed as a number. So IQ is a measure of cognitive intelligence, usually a measure of our verbal and mathematical skills, and generally an IQ of 100 is considered about average. Similarly, EQ is a measure of emotional intelligence, and can also be expressed as a number. We’ll get into this more later. Just so you know for now, we will be referring to social and emotional intelligence as S&EI, as EI and as EQ throughout the presentation. The primary take-away from this slide is that we DO have some really smart, really brilliant people in the world who are not in touch with their own emotions or the emotions of others, and who may be lacking some skills in how to manage themselves or manage their relationships with others.
