Emotional Intelligence (EI) & EQ
Emotional Intelligence, also called EI and often measured as an Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ), describes an ability, capacity, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups.
“Anyone can become angry – that is easy. But
to be angry with the right person, to the right
degree, at the right time, for the right purpose,
and in the right way – that is not easy.”
Aristotle in ‘Nicomachean Ethics’

"A leader's intelligence has to have a strong emotional component. He has to have high self-awareness, maturity and self-control. He must be able to withstand the heat, handle setbacks and when those lucky moments arise, enjoy success with equal parts of joy and humility. Emotional intelligence is more rare than book smarts, but it is actually more important in the making of a leader."
Jack Welch, former Chairman & CEO of GE Inc. Speaking to The Wall Street Journal

Answer for Scenario 1
The Credit Stealing Colleague:
The most emotionally intelligent answer is D. By demonstrating an awareness of work-place dynamics, and an ability to control your emotional responses, publicly recognizing your own accomplishments in a non-threatening manner, will disarm your colleague as well as puts you in a better light with your manager and peers. Public confrontations can be ineffective, are likely to cause your colleague to become defensive.
A. 0 Points – Immediately and publicly confront the colleague over the ownership of your work.
B. 5 Points – After the meeting, take the colleague aside and tell her that you would appreciate in the future that she credits you when speaking about your work.
C. 0 Points – Nothing, it's not a good idea to embarrass colleagues in public. D. 10 Points – After the colleague speaks, publicly thank her for referencing your
work and give the group more specific detail about what you were trying to accomplish.

A. Ignore it – the best way to deal with these things is not to react.
B. Call the person into your office and explain that their behavior is inappropriate and is grounds for disciplinary action if repeated.
C. Speak up on the spot, saying that such jokes are inappropriate and will not be tolerated in your organization.
D. Suggest to the person telling the joke he go through a diversity training program.
Scenario 2: You are a Manager in an organization that is trying to encourage respect for racial and ethnic diversity. You overheard an employee telling both sexist and racist jokes. What do you do?
CEE is a Strategic Partner of Executive Development Associates (EDA) Inc. 19
The most emotionally intelligent answer is C. The most effective way to create an atmosphere that welcomes diversity is to make clear in public that the social norms of your organization do not tolerate such expressions. Confronting the behavior privately lets the individual know the behavior is unacceptable, but does not communicate it to the team. Instead of trying to change prejudices (a much harder task), keep people from acting on them.
A. 0 Points – Ignore it - the best way to deal with these things is not to react.
B. 5 Points – Call the person into your office and explain that their behavior is inappropriate and is grounds for disciplinary action if repeated.
C. 10 Points – Speak up on the spot, saying that such jokes are inappropriate and will not be tolerated in your organization.
D. 5 Points – Suggest to the person telling the joke he go through a diversity training program.

A. Sketch out a specific plan for ways to improve your grade and resolve to follow through.
B. Decide you do not have what it takes to make it in that career.

The most emotionally intelligent answer is A. A key indicator of self-motivation, also known as Achievement motivation, is your ability to form a plan for overcoming obstacles to achieve long-term goals. While focusing efforts on classes where you have a better opportunity may sometimes be productive, if the goal was to learn the content of the course to help your long-term career objectives, you are unlikely to achieve.
A. 10 Points – Sketch out a specific plan for ways to improve your grade and resolve to follow through.
B. 0 Points – Decide you do not have what it takes to make it in that career.
C. 5 Points – Tell yourself it really doesn't matter how much you do in the course, concentrate instead on other classes where your grades are higher.
D. 0 Points – Go see the professor and try to talk her into giving you a better grade.
