Emotional IQDoes emotional
intelligence exists?
A commodifiable emotion funnelTo a large extent, emotional intelligence has become what its popularizers have wanted it to become – a commodifiable emotion funnel, profitable to sell, which promises a fast route to organizational success, even individual fame. It is able to engage its audiences because of the rhetorical force of its assertion and common discourse as an important part of life. However, while commodification helps to distribute and sell an idea, it is also a trap. Emotional intelligence Is imprisoned in a sales gloss that makes extravagant claims and promises, exercise its own tyranny by over-idealizing one particular form of psychological being over another (and a prescribed route to change), and is highly contingent upon a certain sociocultural frame of organizational success.
Stephen Fineman (School of Management, University of Bath, UK) – Appropriating and organizing emotion – in “Emotion in Organization” - 2000

Emotions are like…• Emotions are like our hands or our breath: the
majority of us have them, but we use them without paying attention to them, until there is something wrong, making then a specific act of
volition.
In teams (and in general) we need emotional-glasses
Activity: Check In•Check In• Speaker says, “I feel [one or more of MAD, SAD, GLAD,
AFRAID].” Speaker may add a brief explanation. Speaker may say, “I pass.”

Unintentional culture is broken!•Agile doesn’t tell you how to build a great team—what are the steps?•Scrum doesn’t magically give you the skills to do great retrospectives and make amazing improvements.•Don’t settle for the default/incumbent culture.• You need a toolset like the Core Protocols to get your team aligned and on the path to greatness, and then use Agile to execute with your great team.• (Agile isn’t broken. But you need additional skills to intentionally get your team into a state of shared vision, to be able to always design, implement, and deliver great products on time every time.)

Love“The Core is software to create love. Whether it persists where it's been created depends on the students. But one thing is clear to me—one never forgets how to create love after going through Core Protocols BootCamp even once.”
- Julia Ivashina
Manifesto for GreatnessWe feel GLAD, SAD, MAD and AFRAID.
We have suffered mediocrity, broken promises, drama, selfishness and separation for too long. We are responsible for this mediocrity.
We observe that GREATNESS emanates from SELF-AWARENESS, FAITH, HOPE, PASSION, COURAGE, WISDOM, JOY, LOVE, INTEGRITY, VULNERABILITY, SAFETY and TRUST.
We have the tools—the Core Commitments and Core Protocols—that encode and deliver these virtues and ignite people to greatness.
We want the world to live in love and greatness.WE ARE IN.
Will you join us?
