“Those of you who know me, know that I am quick at

pointing out whatever I don't like. Well, I like very much this

issue of CC and I sincerely congratulate Dr. RS Murali both

for his insight into the 3PT methodology for implementing

policies and for the overall tenure of the newsletter, which is

continually improving. At Government I am currently

concerned with the upward path to Policy, which is how to

build it, most aptly from consensus, so I appreciate Murali's

contribution to the indispensable downward return to

people.”

The primary reason for a man‟s dominance in the

living world is his intelligence and his capacity to

think. Human intelligence has progressed over a

period of time. Initially, his cognitive skills (IQ) were

considered to be of paramount measure of his

efficiency. But in the age of complex organisational

hierarchy and structure of large scale businesses and

huge corporations, demand for managing resources;

especially human resources became a critical skill.

Managing employees and increasing their

performance was considered far more important than

the cognitive skills (IQ). Thus, Emotional Intelligence

(EQ) became the next benchmark. Emotional

Intelligence in simple words is the ability to perceive,

control and evaluate emotions. This issue of

Consultants’ Corner has covered the concepts of

Emotional Intelligence and Spiritual Intelligence. The

concepts of Emotional Intelligence, its importance and

the ways and methods to develop it are given in

articles on this topic.

A person with a developed Emotional Intelligence

moves to the next level of understanding and that is

called Spiritual Intelligence. Spiritual Intelligence (SQ)

encompasses both the Cognitive Intelligence (IQ) and

Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Since SQ is an extension

of the EQ, a basic understanding about this subject is

presented and we hope it would be appreciated by

the reader.

The reach of Consultants’ Corner is growing by each

day. To evaluate the readership and their response to

the articles we had introduced a poll on myncrcl.com

called “Best Article”. The poll results of the articles

published in the previous issue is given in this issue.

The editorial team fervently thanks all the readers for

their response. The response, though not

overwhelming, is a huge motivator for the writers to

contribute original, well researched articles. We

request all the readers to actively participate in the

poll which will be a regular feature henceforth.

As always the Editors request you to give your views

and suggestions on any aspect of Consultants’

Corner. The Editors would respond to the suggestions

and views of the readers personally and would

publish all the views and suggestions received from

you.

One cannot determine someone's IQ based on their

EQ and vice versa. Intelligence is how quickly a

person absorbs new information. Personality is the

style with which a person approaches the world. Such

as what motivates him/her and the people and

situations that give him/her energy (versus those that

drain it). One example of this is the tendency we all

have to be introverted or extroverted. Personality and

IQ do not change much throughout a person's life.

Emotional intelligence is unique because it is a

flexible skill that can be improved with practice.

Anyone can develop a high degree of emotional

intelligence.

The Role of Emotional Intelligence in

Organizations

Workplace is an ideal environment for people to

develop their social and emotional skills, as

individuals are motivated to develop those capabilities

in pursuit of success and promotion. Hence EI is very

relevant to employees.

Introduction

Emotional intelligence, alternatively known as EI or

EQ, reflects an individual‟s ability to deal with daily

environmental challenges. Understanding and

measuring EI helps predict success in life, both in

professional and personal pursuits. EI competencies

include empathy, intuition, creativity, flexibility,

resilience, stress management, leadership, integrity,

happiness and optimism, as well as intrapersonal and

interpersonal communication skills.

Emotional intelli-

gence is a concept

based on a long

history of research

and theory in

personality and so-

cial psychology.

While the theory and practice of EI continues to

evolve, the central premise that social and personal

competencies are vital for a productive life remains a

common theme throughout each model.

EI‟s is important to both individuals and organizations.

Research indicates a strong correlation between

emotional intelligence and individual job performance.

By emphasizing emotional intelligence in hiring,

teambuilding and training programs, senior

management and human resources professionals can

improve decision making, problem solving and the

ability to cope with change among employees

Emotional intelligence is an essential part of

a person

Emotional intelligence explains a fundamental

element of behaviour that is unique from a person's

intellect.

“EI is important to both individuals and

organizations. Research indicates a

strong correlation between emotional

intelligence and individual job

performance”.

He who obtains has little. He who scatters

has much.

The concept is equally important to employers, as

their bottom-line productivity rests on the emotional

intelligence of the whole organization. When

executives and employees work to improve

capabilities in areas in which they are weakest, it

benefits the entire organization, improving

communication and increasing productivity.

The consequences due to neglect of emotional

intelligence in an organization can be devastating to

productivity and bottom-line business results.

Breakdowns in internal communication that produce

confusion, uncertainty, hostility and reduced

productivity are just a few of the factors organizations

face if they do not actively pursue a strategy of

fostering emotional intelligence in the workplace.

Successful organizations today strive to reap the

benefits of becoming more emotionally intelligent by

improving performance of employees and executives,

building strong teams and driving productivity.

Emotional Intelligence dictates Performance

Emotional intelligence has a massive impact upon

personal and professional success. Researchers have

measured the EQ of

close to a million

people (Emotional

Intelligence 2.0. by

Travis Bradberry &

Jean Greaves) and

found that this skill

accounts for 58% of

performance in all

types of jobs.

Emotions are the

primary driver of our

behaviour. Working to improve people's emotional

intelligence results in improvements in many areas of

their behaviour. It has been observed that more than

90% of top performers in organisations have high

EQs.

Emotional Intelligence can be increased with

practice

The essential skills of emotional intelligence can be

learned by anyone, at any time. There is a difference,

however, between learning about emotional

intelligence and applying that knowledge to life. This

is especially difficult when we become overwhelmed

by stress, which can hijack our best intentions.

We have to experience and practice certain skills in

our everyday life to continually improve our EI/EQ.

Some techniques and tips to improve Emotional

Intelligence are given above.

Ms. Praveena K R can be reached at [email protected]

Connect to others using non-verbal communica-

tion

Simultaneously relax and energize yourself

Make eye contact

Pay attention to non-verbal cues

Use 'humor & play' to deal with challenges

Take hardships in stride

Smoothen differences

Be creative

Resolve conflicts positively and with confidence

Stay focused in the present.

Forgive

Choose your arguments wisely

End conflicts that can't be resolved

Conclusion

As a society we tend to overlook soft skills and

psychological aspects of dealing with people

especially at work. EI is a very significant concept

that will help improve people and in turn organisations'

performance. Emotionally intelligent organizations

maximize potential for business success and increase

productivity because people in these organizations

share more powerful connections.

activities. Emotions help prioritize what we pay

attention and react to. We generally respond

emotionally to things that garner our attention.

Understanding Emotions: The emotions that we

perceive can carry a wide variety of meanings. If

someone is expressing angry emotions, the observer

must interpret the cause of their anger and what it

might mean.

Managing Emotions: The ability to manage emotions

effectively is a key part of emotional intelligence.

Regulating emotions, responding

appropriately and responding to the

emotions of others are all important

aspects of emotional management.

Emotional awareness helps you to:

Recognize who you are, what you

like, what you don‟t like and what you

need

Understand and empathize with

others

Communicate clearly and

effectively

Make wise decisions based on the

things that are most important to you

Get motivated and take action to

meet goals

Build strong, healthy and rewarding

relationships

Importance of EI in the Workplace

EI abilities separate the most successful workers and

leaders from the average. This is especially true in

roles like the professions and higher level executives,

where everyone is about as smart as everyone else,

and how people manage themselves and their

relationships gives the best and edge.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to understand

and manage our emotions in a positive way. EI

virtually impacts all aspects of our daily lives. It is a

fact that, it is not the smartest people who are the

most successful or the most fulfilled in life. We

probably know people who are academically brilliant

and yet are socially inept and unsuccessful at work or

in their personal relationships. Intelligence Quotient

(IQ) isn‟t enough on its own to be successful in life.

Yes, your IQ can help you get into college, but it‟s

your EI that will help you manage the stress and emo-

tions when facing your final exams.

Developing Emotional Intelligence

While some researchers suggest that emotional

intelligence can be learned and strengthened, others

claim it is an inborn characteristic. Peter Salovey

of Yale University and John D. Mayer psychologist at

the University of New Hampshire have done extensive

research in EI and have proposed a model that

identifies four different factors of emotional intelli-

gence:

Perceiving Emotions: The first step in understanding

emotions is to accurately observe them. In many

cases, this might involve understanding nonverbal

signals such as body language and facial expres-

sions.

Reasoning with Emotions: The next step involves

using emotions to promote thinking and related

Life is your art. An open, aware heart is your

camera. A oneness with your world is

your film.

- Ansel Adams

David Caruso: “It is very important to understand that emotional intelligence is not the opposite of intelligence, it is

not the triumph of heart over head -- it is the unique intersection of both.”

--From (“Emotional What?”)

In one of the articles in the Harvard Business

Review „What makes a Leader‟ Daniel Goleman, who

first brought the term “emotional intelligence” to a

wide audience with his 1995 book of that name, states

the five attributes to develop EI in Workplace namely:

1. Self Awareness – the ability to recognize and

understand your moods and emotions

2. Self-Regulation – the ability to control or

re-direct disruptive impulses and moods

3. Motivation – a passion to work which goes

beyond money or status

4. Empathy – the ability to understand emotional

makeup of other people

5. Social Skills – proficiency in managing

relationships and building networks

EI in Schools

There is a stress from the experts in the field that EI

should be made a part of curriculum in schools. A

meta-analysis of more than 200 separate studies that

compared students with emotional intelligence-based

programs and those without them found that positive

behaviour increased 10 percent, negative went down

10 percent, and academic achievement scores

jumped up 11 percent.

Spiritual Intelligence

and Emotional Intelli-

gence

Emotional Intelligence is

actually a large collection

of skills in a person.

Goleman and Richard

Boyatzis have grouped

these skills into four

Quadrants as shown

below in Table 1.

The process of develop-

ing Emotional Intelligence

skills is sequential. For

example, a person who

intends to develop EQ

shall need to have

E m o t i o n a l S e l f

Awareness (Quadrant 1)

before he can develop

Emotional Self Control

(Quadrant 2).

Spiritual Intelligence - An overview

Contd on next page

At the beginning of the scientific study of intelligence

in the early 20th century, the definition of intelligence

was restricted to intellectual intelligence (IQ). This

narrow definition of intelligence prevailed until the mid

1980′s, when emotional intelligence (EQ) was

identified as another dimension of intelligence of

equal, or even greater, importance. Recent advances

in psychology and neuroscience identified Spiritual

Intelligence (SQ) as a further dimension of intelligence

that is even more significant. SQ governs IQ and EQ,

and is therefore the senior dimension of intelligence.

Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) is the ability to behave with

wisdom and compassion while maintaining inner and

outer peace, regardless of the situation. In simple

terms, it is the ability to shift from the perspective of

our ego-activated self and see and act from our higher

self, our higher or nobler nature. SQ is distinct from IQ

and EQ neurologically. IQ and EQ are primarily

localised in opposite hemispheres of the brain,

whereas SQ is associated with whole-brain activation

(as shown in figure). It combines part-brain functions

from both hemispheres into the integrated field of the

whole brain.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

and Spiritual Intelligence (SQ)

are related to each other. We

need some basics of EQ to

even start our spiritual growth.

Some degree of emotional

self awareness and empathy

is an important foundation for

developing SQ. Then, as our

spiritual growth unfolds, there

would be a strengthening of EQ

skills – which would further

reinforce and assist the growth

of SQ skills.

The skills of SQ are also similar

to EQ‟s four quadrant model.

The SQ skill quadrant table

al so known as Cindy

Wigglesworth Model is given

in Table 2 below. The four

quadrants and 21 SQ skills can

be considered a “step up” from

the four quadrants and 18 EQ

skills mentioned in Table 1.

The skill sets of the four

quadrants for SQ reflect the

vertical move toward less ego

and greater expansion of

awareness (e.g. Other

Awareness quadrant EQ skills are narrower in scope

than Universal Awareness SQ skills).

Intelligence and Leadership

Leaders need four intelligences to optimize their

personal and organizational performance: Cognitive

Intelligence (IQ), Emotional Intelligence (good

interpersonal skills), Physical Intelligence (taking care

of the body so it can support all the other

intelligences) and Spiritual Intelligence.

The world has become more complex and more

interdependent. Making decisions that consider just

the leaders‟ financial compensation (e.g., getting the

biggest bonus we can) or just the shareholders'

compensation (maximizing profit) gets suboptimal

results in the long term. This is where higher

intelligence among the four i.e., the Spiritual

Intelligence comes in. The biggest benefit of SQ is

that leaders are more likely to find solutions that work

in the longer term. The focus shifts to holding a longer

-term view that preserves the equity value of the

company, the long-term earning potential of the

company and, crucially, does not destroy relationships

with other stakeholders.

Contd on next page...

Developing spiritual intelligence is a requirement if we

want to access the highest stages of adult

development and become truly mature leaders – lead-

ers ready for the challenges we face.

Developing Spiritual Intelligence

Learn to insert a pause between a stimulus and your

response. A great way to practise this is to think of the

people who irritate you or where something happens

and you have a robot like reaction that comes from a

habituated, defensive ego based way of thinking.

Instead try pausing and taking a long slow breath.

Then choose to respond from your highest self.

Another way of doing this is to ask this question after

each stimulus: “Is there another way I can do this that

is more in line with my higher self?” If we could all do

that – that would be a huge step forward in our

spiritual intelligence.

Don't be content in your life just to do no

wrong. Be prepared every day to try to

do some good.

Interpreting Your Scores A score of 100 or more indicates that you have a high level of Spiritual Intelligence. You are experiencing the joy, love and peace and aliveness of being that arises as you surrender wholeheartedly to life. A score between 80 and 99 indicates that life is awakening up to itself through you. Most people who fall into this category usually have a spiritual practice and interest in personal development and spiritual growth. Keeping in your spiritual integrity and bringing wakefulness and presence into your relationships and your actions throughout the day is probably one of your challenges. A score less than 80 indicates that your ego-self is currently in charge most of the time. There is plenty of work for you to be doing.
