Contrary to popular belief, high-performance IQ is not a guarantee of career success ...
Capacity rights in this age are expensive. So tell me, who among us would not dream to be a talented, gifted and genius? In fact, all this could bring not only the respect from others, but also something more tangible. For example, an increase in their wages. It is no secret that employers prefer to hire those who have "ears on top." Savvy quickly, take initiative in their hands, trust intuition - and you will conquer any boss. By the way, contrary to popular belief, high rates of IQ, then bish good intelligence is not a guarantee of career success. That is savvy - necessary but not sufficient. Studies have shown in recent years, no less the role played by your livable, non, communicative. This means that the traditional phrase "kommunikabelen, able to work in a team" - this is not a formal makeweight your resume, and one of the main characteristics of you as "labor."
Several decades ago, psychologists state Masachusets had a simple observation. As a "guinea pigs" were made by 450 American boys. Two-thirds of them were of high IQ and grew up in very affluent families. The remaining third of the children even as a child is faced with family problems and did not differ deposit of geniuses, that is, performance IQ in this case were more than average. As the meeting 15 years later, their life success is not directly dependent on the performance IQ. Far more important were the ability to resist stress and habit to stay optimistic, despite the setbacks.
In 1995, the American Daniel Goulman introduced the term "emotional intelligence". The meanings attached to them the concept was as follows: "Emotional intelligence is the ability to interpret their own human emotions and the emotions of those around in order to use the information to realize their own goals." You argue: "Listening to their own feelings, of course, useful." Know thyself "... But what is intelligence? Because the term is typically associated with the rational attributes of man, with his ability to think logically, with a penchant for mathematics ..." But turn to a classical interpretation of the term "intelligence." As the definition of David Wexler, "intelligence is the ability to act purposefully, efficiently and effectively to achieve success in these conditions." Needless to say, that this interpretation involves not only the mind in the strict sense, but many vneintellektualnyh factors.
Actually, the idea is not new. Even in the distant 30's Robert Thorndike wrote of "social intelligence", referring to people prone to adaptability. In the 40 th, researchers from Ohio State turned to the topic of leadership. Their main task was to find out exactly what features of nature gives the most talented managers. As it turned out, the higher the rank, a social worker, the greater the demands of his position has to emotional intelligence.
However, do not knock out the extremes in the extreme. Of course, an arbitrarily high rates of emotional flexibility will not replace any professional competence or ability to weigh all the pros and cons and make findings "his head." However, other things being equal, better to be so friendly with a sense of humor than to have extra 10-15 points IQ. Generally speaking, when talking about emotional intelligence, they usually involve two aspects. The aim is to control their emotions and the creation of a favorable emotional atmosphere.
Practice shows that the greatest success in life sought by those who are able to take a critical time in their hands and do not succumb to anger, irritation or despondency. Interestingly, if a person endowed with such qualities, they will apply to all situations, not only in the field of learning, work, etc. The best illustration of this could be, perhaps, the famous "zefirny test, conducted by scientists from Stanford University. From the perspective of a healthy baby, this test was pronounced bullying. For it was he that as long as possible to sit in front of table with cookies, can not pritragivayas. Shortly record of self-identified, and no matter how ridiculous, they have been the most successful predprenimatelyami after a dozen years.
Control of emotions normally is not to give vyplesnutsya negative impressions. It is a continuous psihotrenninge of maintaining themselves in a good mood. For example, Martin Seligman has developed a concept of "scientific optimism". Its essence - that vymestit abstract dissatisfaction in case of failure of constructive self-criticism. That is, when you once again broken, do not cry irritably: "Everything is bad, this life - sludge", and get a piece of paper and examine their own shortcomings. What has been done, as expected, and that - not so? As a result, you have diminished sadness, yes, the same, the next time you'll be careful - because you have to be new information.
Sometimes - before an important test - is initially set on the magnificent outcome of the case. Thoughts, draw their foreheads with bright red five, when in the exam!
Incidentally, this point is to take into account the leaders of all ranks: in the right expectations on the part of superiors productivity increases in one and a half times. Proof of that - another experiment. At one of the Training to prepare staff of specialists in the number of students have included a professional actor. When working with volunteers, served as the staff, he deliberately changed the emotional background of the "staff". In one case, he "infect" their enthusiasm, and in another - afraid Ugryumov, in the third - showed up irritability, in the fourth - is the worship, providing peace charisma ... Themselves short of expectations: the degree of "coherence" and the team speed is directly dependent on the support of the head.
Finally worth mentioning another hypostasis of emotional intelligence. Empathy - the ability to "vzhivaniya" in another. If you are able to "jump into" in the skin and the other person better than he could express it, to understand what he expects from you - success is assured. Practice shows that of these people go first-class managers.
