We humans are emotional beings. So we are more than capable of being overcome by our emotions. When that occurs our executive effectiveness suffers. We lose the ability to function at a level of peak performance. What’s the remedy? We belief it’s the development of emotional awareness and emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power and acumen of your emotions and the emotions of others in order to facilitate higher levels of collaboration and productivity.
In the workforce today, businesses are now structured in a way that almost everyone has some level of decision making ability. Whether the decisions are big or small, they have a direct impact on how successful, efficient and effective individuals perform on the job.
It is becoming more and more important for employees to focus on and improve their decision making abilities. This may seem as simple as learning from our mistakes, but it really starts at a much deeper level. Making better decisions starts with understanding your own Emotional Quotient (EQ).
While it is often misunderstood as intelligence quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient is different because instead of measuring your general intelligence, it measures your emotional intelligence. Emotional Quotient is the ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions to facilitate high levels of collaboration and productivity. In the business environment, Emotional Quotient is important because it helps you leverage your awareness of emotions for effectiveness in the workplace.
When it comes to predicting professional success and achievement, your IQ pales in comparison to your EQ. Upon reaching adulthood, your IQ is unlikely to change significantly. Fortunately, your critical EQ skills can be developed.
At Profectus, we’ve helped hundreds of leaders to improve their results by raising their EQ.
