Daniel Goleman shared with Google at “Google Talks” in 2004 that EQ is catalytic for our strengths and other skills to be valued by others. In other words, regardless of how smart we may be, if we can’t have empathy and an interest in others and work and interact with them well, they really don’t care how smart we are.
So when Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves, authors of Emotional Intelligence 2.0, put forth the notion that EQ is twice as important as IQ in getting what you want, we took notice and pursued further. If this is true or even close to being accurate, one would hope that we would all be more engaged and more aware and more growth-oriented around our Emotional Intelligence or EQ development.
