In the mid to late 1990s the topic of emotional intelligence gained prominence in management literature. Research at Harvard suggested that emotional intelligence was at least four times as critical as a predictor of success as either IQ or technical skills.

Many people, under financial or other pressures to find work quickly, feel they can’t afford to take the time to get organized. On the other hand, conducting your job search in an organized manner will reduce the amount of time you spend looking for information, following inappropriate leads, or waiting for your dream job to fall into your lap. It generally takes at least a month to find an entry-level job, and as much as nine months for one requiring a h
I ask participants in management workshops to isolate the characteristics of individuals with whom they have worked who they deem to have been exceptional managers. Their answers seldom focus on the educational background or technical capabilities of those people. Instead they emphasize that exceptional managers are passionate, have vision, are caring, treat people supportively, make work fun, challenge people to be their best, provide lots of feedback, listen intently and encourage teamwork. Traditionally, these skills have been labelled, somewhat pejoratively, as the “soft skills”. The insinuation is that they are “touchy feely”, too mushy for the real world of work and, in some instances, even inappropriate in a “professional” environment. My experience contradicts this and supports the thoughts of Roger Enrico, former CEO and Chair of PepsiCo, who says that “the soft stuff is always harder than the hard stuff”.
Successful organizations must invest in developing the skills that are critical for the managers of their people to function effectively. What are they? For many years we have taught managers that they need to provide clear direction, to communicate better, to vary their management style to fit individuals’ level of development and to attempt to engage people in the pursuit of the organization’s raison d’?tre. These skills have certainly helped managers to become more productive. But there is more…

Inevitably, being a technical support contact, you are going to have to speak to a client, whether it's being the first point of contact and they have called you to report a problem, to get more information about a particular problem, or to let them know an issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, in my experience, most technicians do this the absolute wrong way.What's the wrong way, you ask? Well let me explain. For the purposes of this article, I

Interviewing principles and practices do not vary often. First off, the term principle means a basic truth or belief. Therefore, an interviewing principle is a system of how interviews are normally conducted. As far as a practice is concerned, an interviewing practice is the usual, customary way it is performed. It also means an action done many times over to acquire skill. Therefore, interviewing principles and practices are the customary ways an intervi
In the mid to late 1990s the topic of emotional intelligence gained prominence in management literature. Research at Harvard suggested that emotional intelligence was at least four times as critical as a predictor of success as either IQ or technical skills. Another study at the Centre for Creative Leadership indicated that for successful managers, emotional intelligence is nearly five times as important as their IQ or technical skills.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to effectively perceive, manage and use one’s emotions and to effectively manage emotional connections with other people. While there are eleven components of emotional intelligence, I will only mention a few.
To maximize the contribution of our people and their talents, research into emotional intelligence says that we must support managers as they develop skills in a variety of areas. These include helping managers learn to: assess their strengths and weaknesses; manage their strong impulses; remain optimistic in spite of severe challenges; listen more effectively; become more adaptable to rapidly changing conditions; become more emotionally self-aware; and demonstrate empathy. Managers who refine these skills will be seen as more authentic by those they lead. The outcome will be more people who feel that they are respected and valued by their managers. Under these conditions, people are more likely to be fully engaged in their workplace and to contribute their maximum effort for their manager. They are also less likely to shop the market for other opportunities.
Undoubtedly, effective managers are indispensable to successful organizations
