Lets Try Together
this

Intelligence Gauge

Exercise of the brain is as important as


exercise of the muscles. As we grow
older, it's important that we keep
mentally alert. The saying; "If you
don't use it, you will lose it," also
applies to the brain, so.....
Following is a way to gauge your loss or
non-loss of intelligence. Take the following
test and determine if you are losing it or are
still "with it."
OK, relax, clear your mind and... Lets begin.

1. What do you put in a


toaster?
Answer:
"bread."
If you said "toast," then you are wrong
my friend.

If you said, "Bread," go to Question 2.

2. Say Silk" five times. Now


spell Silk."
What do Cows drink?

Answer:
Cows drink water.
If you said "milk," you are
wrong ..a little stressed.
Milk

If you said "water," proceed to question 3

3. If a red house is made from red


bricks, and a blue house is made from
blue bricks, and a pink house is made
from pink bricks and a black house is
made from black bricks, what is a
green house made from??
Answer:
Greenhouses are made from glass. If you
said, "Green bricks, you are not
concentrating.
If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.

4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over


Germany. If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided
into West Germany and East Germany. There is an engine failure
and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land"
between East Germany and West Germany.

Where would you bury the survivors?


. . In East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's

land"?

Answer:
You don't, of course, bury survivors.
If you said, "You don't bury the survivors," proceed to question. 5

5. If the hour hand on a clock


moves 1/60 of a degree every
minute how many degrees will
the hour hand move in one hour?
Answer:
One degree. If you said, "360 degrees" or
anything other than "one degree," you are
to be congratulated on getting this far, but
you are obviously out of your league.
Everyone else proceed to the final question.

6. Without using a calculator -- You are driving a


bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales In London,
17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off
the bus, and nine people get on. In Swindon, two
people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get
off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get
off and five people get on. In Carmarthen, six people
get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford
Haven.

What was the name of the bus driver?

Answer: Don't you remember? It was YOU!!! You


were the bus driver!!!

Effective Leaders
Emotional
Intelligence
Sets Apart
Good and
Effective
Leaders

What is Intelligence?
Typically focused on

analytic reasoning
verbal skills
spatial ability
attention
memory
judgement

Murky concept with


definitions by many
experts...

One Definition
Individuals differ from one
another in their ability to
understand complex ideas,
to adapt effectively to the
environment, to learn from
experience, to engage in
various forms of reasoning,
to overcome obstacles by
taking thought Concepts
of intelligence are attempts
to clarify and organize this
complex set of phenomena.
Neisser et al, 1996.

IQ
A weak predictor for
achievement
job performance success
overall success, wealth, & happiness

Accounts for a major component of


employment success according to
numbers of studies covering career
success; maybe as much as 20-25%.

How do we view emotions?


chaotic
haphazard
superfluous
incompatible with reason
disorganized
largely visceral
resulting from the lack of effective adjustment

How do we view emotions?


Arouse, sustain, direct activity
Part of the total economy of
living organisms
Not in opposition to intelligence
Themselves a higher order of intelligence
Emotional processing
may be an essential part
of rational decision making

To Get at
Emotion,
Go Deep...
Amygdala is
deep within the most elemental parts
of the brain.

The main purpose of the innermost


part of the brain is survival.

There is a
Biological Purpose for Emotion

Signaling function (that we might take


action)
Promote unique, stereotypical patterns
of physiological change
Provide strong impulse to take action

Basic Emotions--presumed to be hard


wired and physiologically distinctive
Joy
Surprise
Sadness
Anger
Disgust
Fear

Evolutionary Advantage to
Emotion
For example:
Fight or flight response
but can basic
emotions overwhelm
rational thinking?

Antnio Damsio,

The Father Of Emotional Intellignce


Antnio Damsio, is a Portuguese
behavioral neurologist and neuroscientist working
in the United States. His career at Iowa lasted
from 1976-2008. Besides being a well-known
researcher in several areas of the neurology, he is
a best-selling author of books which describe
Emotional Intellignce. .
As a researcher, Dr. Damsio's main interest is
the neurobiology of the mind, especially neural
systems which subserve memory, language,
emotion, and decision-making.
His research has helped to elucidate the neural
basis for the emotions and has shown that
emotions play a central role in social cognition

Neurobiology of Rationality
Damasios work shows
how neurobiology can
help us understand the
role of emotion in
thinking. We constantly
learn more about this
important area.
Work like his underlies
the concepts of
emotional intelligence.

There are less obvious


advantages to
emotional experience.
Emotion is emerging
as an essential
contributor to rational
decision making.

Why Emotional Intelligence


is necessary for managers

Helps managers handle


adversity & setback

Teaches managers cope


when change &
uncertainty hits
organization or their
personal lives.

Why Emotional Intelligence is


necessary for managers

Help them manage effective


relationship.

Help them being focused


and stay on track by
remembering purpose &
vision.

EQ & Managers
Emotional Intelligence is very important for
managers as their behavior & treatment of
their people determine turnover and retention
of the company.
Managers & supervisors are the direct line of
contact for the employees. They interact daily
with individuals who have distinct needs, wants
& expectations.
They significantly influence the attitudes,
performance & satisfaction of employees
within their departments & other departments.

EQ is very important for


managers as they are the direct
line of contact & their behavior
& treatment determines
retention & turnover

EQ & Managers
The stress of trying to
lead and satisfy so many
people's changing needs
and expectations can be
overwhelming, to say
nothing of the demands
from upper management.
Being both firm and
caring at the same time
causes many to feel
inadequate for the role..

85 % percent of
turnover is reportedly
due to an inadequate
relationship between
the employee and their
direct supervisor

When trust is lacking performance suffers

EQ & Managers

Enhancing EI skills enables Supervisors and Managers to regulate their


emotions and motivate themselves more effectively allowing them to
manage their own emotional turmoil effectively and demonstrate
compassion and empathy for their employees.
employees

IT also provides them with the


courage to push against the system to
make necessary changes for their
people.

All employees want a


supportive, caring
Supervisor or Manager
who has their best
interests at heart

EQ & Managers
Knowing this, the
employee will be
more likely to
turndown offers
from other
companies to work
for such a person.

Upon graduating from college,


Debra believed that if she worked
hard, she would achieve her
career success goals
Example to illustrate how EQ
can positively or negatively
impact one's career and the
organization:

She racked up a list of


accomplishments

However, just two


years into her career
she was fired.

Example to illustrate how EQ can positively or


negatively impact one's career and the organization:
Debra Benton reports in her
book, Lions Don't Need to
Roar, "I was stunned ...
college courses had not
addressed the importance of
people skills or being a team
player. That lack of knowledge
cost me my job." She thought
work was all about producing
results. While working with an
outplacement firm, Debra met
other high producers who had
lost their jobs for the same
reason.
That lack of people management
cost her job

The number one-factor that sets


high-powered professionals apart
from the pack is a high level of
emotional intelligence,
compassion and energy to
function in a team environment

Debra soon learned that


shooting stars have a
short life cycle if they are
unable to relate to and
understand others.

An Example of EQ

Suppose that the morning of a big presentation you


have a fight with any of your family member. Not a
big argumentmaybe just one of those unnerving
spats about who forgot to pick up the dry cleaning
so your morning doesnt get off on the right foot.
Then you car is punctured upping your stress level a
bit more. When you arrive at work, theres a problem
with the elevators, causing more delay. Arriving at
the conference room for your presentation, you find
that the sound system doesnt work and the caterer
hasnt shown up with refreshments. Your junior
associatewho was supposed to call the caterer
bears the brunt of your anger that has been building
since you left the house.

Types of EQ

Working with people means


working with Emotions
When people are working at a
common place , emotions will
play a role. theories to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Dont bring your personal
problems to work is one
variation of the argument that
emotions are inappropriate in
the workplace. Business
decisions, so the argument
goes, should be based on
information, logic and calm
cool reason, with emotions
kept to a minimum.

Managing Emotions at
Workplace
But it is unrealistic to suppose that
emotions can be checked at the door
when you arrive at work. Some
people may assume, for a variety of
reasons, that emotional neutrality is
an ideal, and try to keep feelings out
of sight. Such people work and
relate in a certain way: usually they
come across as rigid, detached or
fearful, and fail to participate fully
in the life of the workplace. This is
not necessarily bad in some
situations, but it is usually not good
for an organization for such people
to move into management roles. The
same would be true for people who
emote excessively, who tell you how
they feel about everything. Simply
being around them can be
exhausting.

Developing EI in the
workplace
Developing emotional
intelligence in the workplace
means acknowledging that
emotions are always present,
and doing something
intelligent with them. People
vary enormously in the skill
with which they use their
own emotions and react to
the emotions of othersand
that can make the difference
between a good manager and
a bad one.

Its not overly egalitarian to


suggest that most professionals,
managers and executives are
fairly smart people (of course
there can be glaring exceptions),
but there can be a huge
difference in how well they
handle people. That is, the
department manager may be a
genius in technical, product or
service knowledgeand get
failing marks in terms of people
skills.

Importance of Emotional
Intelligence
People derail because of classic
emotional failings, not the lack
of technical skills Developing
emotional intelligence can help
companies generate productive
& profitable outcome. The
manager who knows how to stay
motivated under stress ,
motivate others, navigate
complex interpersonal
relationships, inspire others
and build teams who is an
unchallenged expert on a
product or service will get
superior results

Components of Emotional
Intelligence
There are five parts to it.
1. Knowing what you're feeling
2. Managing your feelings, especially
distressing feelings.
3. Self-motivation,
4. Empathy
5. Managing relationships

Probabilities of not having an Good


Emotional Intelligence and their
consequences
While people have shown they can produce
better results at workplace, many of us lack
emotional intelligence. We simply dont know
how to perceive, understand, express and
manage our emotions effectively. There are
adverse consequences to have low emotional
intelligence.
These includes:1.
Relationship Problems
2.
Rage in the Workplace
3.
Poor decision making capability
4.
failure to advance in career

Important Factors

1.Motivation,
2.Retention ,
3.Self management
4.Managing others.

Motivating Employees
The greatest motivation comes from a

persons belief system


Motivation is like a fire- unless you keep
adding fuel to it, it dies. But ,if the source
of motivation is belief in inner values, it
becomes long lasting
Experience shows that People will do a
lot for money, more for a good leader and
do most for a belief
People do things for their own reasons,
not yours

Once upon a time there


was a bunch of baby
frogs........

participating in a
competition.
The target was to get
to the top of a high
tower.

A crowd of people had gathered


to observe the race and
encourage the participants.....

The start shot rang out.......

Quite honestly:
None of the onlookers believed that the baby
frogs could actually accomplish getting to the
top of the tower.
Words like:
"h, its too difficult!!!
Theyll never reach the top."
or:
"Not a chance... the tower is too high!"

One by one some of the baby frogs fell


off
...Except those who fastly climbed
higher and higher..

The crowd kept on yelling:


"Its too difficult. Nobody is going to make it!"

More baby frogs became tired and gave


up...
...But one kept going higher and higher.....
He was not about giving up!
At the end everybody had given up,

except the one determined to


reach the top!

All the other participants


naturally wanted to know how he
had managed to do what none of
them others had been able to do!

One competitor asked the winner, what


was his secret?

The truth was.......


The winner was deaf!!!!

The lesson to be learned:

Dont ever listen to people who are


negative and pessimistic...

they will deprive you of your


loveliest dreams and wishes you
carry in your heart !
Always be aware of the power of words, as everything
you hear and will interfere with your actions!

Therefore:

Always stay

POSITIVE!

And most of all:


Turn a deaf ear when people tell you, that you
cannot achieve your dreams!

The Magic of
EMPLOYEE
RETENTION and EI

Growth Opportunities
Growth is everyones prime objective.

Therefore it is implicit to offer growth


opportunities.
The vital factor that ensures a majority of
senior level employees remain associated
with your organization. This is more crucial
in an industry like BPO, which has the
highest churn rate because of the
prolonged boom in the industry.

Attractive Package
Remuneration package is the driving force

of any employment.
Handsome package as a platform for
people to take new initiatives.
Besides basic package, there can also be
performance-based incentives-relating to
targets achieved, accuracy and
productivity.

Personnel Training
An organization should also take due care

of the training and development needs of


its employees.
Besides helping them improve their skills
and enhance their performance, it should
also foster a faster growth rate in their
career path.

Recreation
Recreation is an important as any other tool. It

helps in creating a conducive environment


making fun for everyone.
Thus, it is necessary to introduce consistent
recreation initiatives like Sports, Activities, family
get together and unwinding zones at the
workplaces
Besides this, cultural programmers and Birthday
celebrations break the monotony of everyday
work pressure.

The Grievances
In order to create a supportive work atmosphere,

ensure a prompt atmosphere, ensure a prompt


redressed of grievances. This reinforces an
employees belief in the management and in the
fact, that no stone will be left unturned to identify
and solve their grievances and quickly as
possible.
Coned..2page

The Grievances
The unbridled growth of the new economy, the

emergences of the knowledge worker and the high


demand for talent in the domestic and global markets
have rewritten the rules of the game.
Though hiring good employees is a nightmare, it is more
difficult to retaining good employees. The talent
management is the key area in every organization worth
its HR department and CEOs are more worried about
intellectual capital than working capital. To add to the
problems are the huge packages being doled out at all
levels.

How EQ succeeds IQ
Emotional Intelligence explains why inspire
of equal intellectual capacity, educational
background, training or experience some
people excel while others of same caliber
and high educational degree lag behind.
Emotional Intelligence is the dimension of
intelligence responsible for our ability to
manage ourselves and our relationship with
others.

EQ versus IQ

Intelligence quotient
or IQ

An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score


derived from one of several different
standardized tests attempting to measure
intelligence. The term "IQ," is a translation of the
German Intelligenz-Quotient,
IQ scores are used in many contexts: as
predictors of educational achievement or special
needs, by social scientists who study the
distribution of IQ scores in populations and the
relationships between IQ score and other
variables, and as predictors of job performance
and income.

Emotional Intelligence
(quotient) or EQ
Emotional Intelligence is a way of
recognizing, understanding, and choosing
how we think, feel, and act. It shapes our
interactions with others and our
understanding of ourselves. It defines how
and what we learn; it allows us to set
priorities; it determines the majority of our
daily actions. Research suggests it is
responsible for as much as 80% of the
"success" in our lives."

EQ versus IQ
In the business world so much of emphasis has
been placed on intellect. Intellect has proven
invaluable to drive our success in business.
Process and procedures based on
analysis,logic,strategies are critically important
However to get the higher level of competence in
business we must blend the progress that we
have made in using intellect & IQ with the
invaluable competencies of EQ.

Why use EQ in the workplace


The workplace & workplace
culture is changing. Today the
emphasis is more on people
focused style of leadership.
Today employees are motivated
by the relationship they have in
their workplace & EI seems like
a logical framework to help build
these relationships. Emotions
influence all aspect of our lives.
Its impossible to separate them
from work. They play a large
role in how others perceive us
through our tone of voice, facial
expressions and body language.

EQ in the Workplace
It is really very sad that after so much research
on the benefits of Emotional Intelligence, too
many managers and leaders continue to ignore
the facts. They're stuck in their old patterns of
intimidation and coercion, demoralizing
employees and creating attitudes of grudging
compliance. The point to remember is
Emotional Intelligence is learnable. All that
needs to happen is for managers and leaders to
see the benefit of doing so.

Application of EQ in the
Workplace
EI is increasingly being applied to organizational
level initiatives such as workforce planning,
performance management, strategic and cultural
change as well as the recruitment process.
According to Jim Hunter, CEO at Genos, issues of
employee retention and employer of choice are
front of mind in many corporations. EI is being
seen as an excellent medium to enhance the
environment, culture, leadership and team
dynamic within an organization.

all, according to a new study.

Emotional Intelligence
Management Competencies
Without emotional intelligence management
competencies , the executive or manager is more
likely to derail.
With these emotional intelligence management
competencies, managers and executives are
more likely to receive performance based
bonuses, higher salaries overall, and experience
greater job security.

Heres why these eight emotional


intelligence management competencies
qualities are so important now
Self-awareness and accurate
self-assessment:
Without self-awareness and
accurate self-assessment,
executives and managers will
be too quick to get irritated
with others, will create
problems in their work
relationships and in their
personal relationships, will
come across as abrasive,
wont be able to admit
mistakes or accept useful,
realistic criticism, and wont
have a realistic awareness of
their strengths or limitations.

Initiative

Executives and managers who


are rather low in initiative ill be
responding to events, rather than
being proactive, thereby finding
themselves in continual crisis
mode. Plus when leaders arent
utilizing initiative, they may fail to
seize strategic opportunities,
either because they havent
started their analysis and planning
process early enough or because
they may resist taking even well
calculated risks.

Sound decision-making
If a manager or executive is
low in their ability to make
sound decisions this will only
be accentuated in a period of
great uncertainty and
turbulence. Executives low in
this area may spend more
time than they can afford to in
analysis, may not
demonstrate the courage to
make choices, may avoid
taking responsibility, and may
lack the commitment to
execute a decision fully.

Empathy
When managers and executives
dont demonstrate enough
empathy in times of uncertainty or
crisis, they will likely be seen as
indifferent, uncaring and inauthentic all of which will make
employees be less cooperative
and less communicative. The
manager may be left feeling
misunderstood, and will have
difficulty reading their
employees

Communication
Managers and executives will be
hampered to an extraordinary
degree if they dont use adequate
communication skills during
turbulent times. By not
communicating well enough
managers will tend to avoid
getting into dialogue about
important issues, will often only
communicate good news and will
tend to try to hide bad news
hurting trust, and will have great
difficulty in managing
complicated issues. In addition,
they will appear unavailable and
uncaring to others, which will
hurt teamwork and cooperation.

Influence
When executives and managers
are low in the management
competency of influence they will
fail to leave the right impression,
will tend to alienate others rather
than getting support, may end up
working too independently and
even against the group, and will
have difficulty motivating the
group quickly enough to address
the eminent challenge

Adaptability
Without ramping up the ability to be
more adaptable in a time of
turbulence and uncertainty many
executives and managers will tend to
respond negatively to new, changing
situations. In addition, they may
show emotional strain to others
when they have to shift priorities;
tend to express, or simmer with,
frustration with change even if it is
for a positive purpose; will have
difficulty adapting their responses
and tactics to fit the emerging
circumstances; and ultimately will
often be hesitant in taking on new
challenges.

Self-management
When managers or
executives have low selfmanagement they tend to
react impulsively in
stressful situations,
possibly get overly
stressed, angry or upset
when facing rapidly
changing situations or
conflict at work; and
sometimes respond to
problems in a no
constructive manner
which often causes
unwanted consequences.
