THE "DONALD" AND "EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE"
TO QUOTE: TIME MAGAZINE'S ARTICLE ON PAGE 53, IN THEIR 12/18/06 ISSUE.
"Developing good people skills. EQ, or emotional intelligence, is as important as IQ for success in today's workplace."
There is no doubt that "the" Donald has been successful in his business life and is not lacking in IQ...however, what is more important is how his EQ could use a little help.
EQ=Emotional Intelligence. In my opinion, a person's EQ is far more important. To have the capacity to create positive outcomes in relationships with others, as well as the capacity to sense the feelings and needs of others, can result in better communication skills. When you watch the "Apprentice" TV show, you will notice that Donald prides himself on listening to people's views, problems and concerns.
I have noticed the "immature" bantering between Rosie and Donald....is this Emotional Intelligence?
As you can see....social awareness (the ability to read, understand and empathically address the emotions of another person) is missing.
As you can see...relationship management (the ability to manage and seek common ground and build a healthy rapport) is missing.
Do they care? Maybe not. Is this all hype? Maybe so.
Emotional Intelligence is an important communication skill that can be learned.
