Today, employees are confronted with never ending change and a lack of clarity as businesses position themselves for success in an ever-changing business climate. Emotional intelligence is more important today than any time in the last 50 years. The Carnegie Institute of Technology found that 85% of financial success was due to people skills or skills highly related to emotional intelligence.
The technical skills that helped secure your current position may not guarantee your continual growth and relevancy in the organization. If you aspire to be a successful leader, there's an emotional element you need to consider. According to Harvard Business School, emotional intelligence "accounts for nearly 90% of what sets high performers apart from peers with similar technical skills and knowledge." It's what helps employees successfully coach teams, manage stress, manage change, deliver feedback and collaborate with others.
"GRCA's El Program gave our team a common language to interpret internal and external interactions. This common language helped us open up with each other and vendors, moving us towards solutions and away from conflict. I highly recommend it for mid-level managers and others who have a lot of people-facing work,'' said Jeremy Zaborowski.
