There are loads of tests claiming to measure emotional intelligence. I won't say they're junk, but their value is limited: They can give you an idea as to how much you know about emotions, but they can't evaluate your ability to put that knowledge to work.

You can start by giving yourself this simple, 1-question test. #EmotionalIntelligence #leadership #management #strategy #BestAdvice #careers #BusinessIntelligence #EQ #ProfessionalDevelopment #EQApplied #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more

Numbers, data, and a well-crafted argument are important when it comes to convincing others. But used alone, their reach is extremely limited. Simply put, they’re boring. But everyone loves a great story. When you can use an anecdote or factual example to illustrate your topic, you bring it to life for your listener. It engages their mental faculties; it touches them.

How can you do that?  Read more in my new book, "EQ Applied": https://amzn.to/2sxFLho #EQ #leadership #management #strategy #EmotionalIntelligence #EQApplied #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more

You can synthesize happiness according to Dan Gilbert. Human beings have something that we might think of as a "psychological immune system." A system of cognitive processes, largely non-conscious cognitive processes, that help them change their views of the world, so that they can feel better about the worlds in which they find themselves. In his surprising TedTalk he explores the science of happiness and how we have a lot more power than we think to be happy. …see more
