The workplace is a 'stage' and everyone is an 'actor'.

Studies show that highly rational thinking high IQ leaders contribute very little to their personal and professional success.

However, those who 'act' with masterful emotional intelligence (EQ) are highly successful. EQ is important because it correlates to adaptability, relationships, collaboration, communication and thinking skills. These factors all directly influence and inspire staff to accept and adapt to organizational change.

According to brain function theories, our perception of others is more related to emotion than intellect. A high EQ equates to a high degree of personal awareness, personal control management, societal awareness, influence and the overall ability to handle emotional situations.

Higher levels of emotional competencies result in higher performance. Numerous EQ studies show that a high EQ can account for up to 69% of effective leadership and management.

Fixed by age 11. Our IQ narrowly measures cognitive intellectual abilities to solve problems, recognize patterns, memory and intellect. However, psychologists began to realize there were two kinds of intelligence and measuring IQ only reflected a small part of the human paradigm. It precluded factors that determine personal behavior and --- the more holistic theory of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) was born centering on the human emotional aspects.

Research indicates that the intellectually bright leaders are generally not successful in their personal or professional lives --- as the number only indicates analytical ability.

Can improve at any age. Although EQ is not viewed a form of intelligence it is considered the ‘ability to intelligently and effectively navigate and manage your emotions’.

The definition we prefer is: 'using your emotions intelligently to: recognize, understand and apply your emotions to effectively manage yourself, relate to and positively inspire others to achieve optimal performance'.

While leadership is simple to describe --- it is not easy to practice. Leadership is more about demonstrating the qualities of trust; credibility; integrity; empathy; sensitivity; respect; honesty; courage; commitment; positive attitude; compassion; and charisma rather than cognitive technical skills and expertise.

Today, leadership requires new thinking --- EQ will improve your performance.

It requires understanding --- an understanding of yourself and others. Enlightened leaders recognize success is governed by navigating their intellectual (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ) to monitor and manage their actions for optimal performance.

Successful Leaders know that ‘Coaching and EQ’ are inextricably linked.

Great Leaders balance their high IQ and EQ --- then weave in powerful coaching skills to influence others and help them reframe, rethink and change their behaviors. The combination of their exceptional IQ + EQ + Coaching Skills = Coaching Intelligence (CQ)® --- becoming a powerful leadership ability to improve relationships, communications, change behaviors and drive organizational transformations.

Combining IQ, EQ and Coaching Intelligence (CQ) is outlined in our soon to be released leadership book entitled, "Leadership ReWired: Multiple Leadership Intelligences" available mid 2010.

Helping others ‘self-motivate’ is a key aspect to improving performance. Humans are basically goal-oriented and motivation drives them to dedication, enthusiasm, energy and the determination to achieve. Negative thinking can be a primary barrier to motivation.

Both the leader and the individual must be capable of regulating their thinking, emotions and behaviors to achieve uncommon results. Leaders with strong EQ can improve workplace performance by coaching to improve effectiveness. They know --- when emotions are high, both EQ and IQ are low.
