8. DOES EI MAKE A DIFFERENCE? The Business Case

9. In a study of more than 2,000 managers from 12 large organizations, 81% of the competencies that distinguished outstanding managers were related to emotional intelligence ( Boyatzis, The Competent Manager,1982) 33% 19% Research Goleman, Working with Emotional Intelligence, 1998 “181 different positions from 121 organizations worldwide … 67% of the abilities deemed essential for effective performance were emotional competencies” (cf. Rosier, 1994) “Reanalyzed data from 40 different corporations … to differentiate star performers from average ones … emotional competencies were found to be twice as important in contributing to excellence as pure intellect and expertise” (cf. Jacobs and Chen, 1997)

11. The Case for EI Why Do Smart People Fail? Intellectual Abilities Intellectual Abilities –Intellectual capability (IQ), knowledge, and technical expertise are threshold –Only one cognitive ability (pattern recognition) differentiates outstanding leaders Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence –Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the differentiating factor in success –90% of the difference between outstanding and average leaders is linked to EI –EI is two times as important as IQ and technical expertise combined
