The people who study Emotional Intelligence began by asking a very simple, but profound question:

What makes people successful?

They tried to qualify it. They looked at IQ and other intelligence indicators. They looked at higher learning and technical training.

Did success lie in having the best education?
What about MBAs, PhDs and other postgraduate degrees?
Did they give people the cognitive edge to become successful?

All things being equal, the people who excel in the workplace and beyond are the ones with higher levels of emotional intelligence.

Not that technical ability is unimportant.In fact, it is extremely important for success, especially in the construction industry. But technical ability and experience can only take you so far. The most successful people have learned to understand emotions in others and make true emotional connections.

Irwin Federman, a partner at US Venture Partners, put it best when he said great leaders know that “people will work harder for someone they like, and they like you in direct proportion to the way you make them feel.”

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to identify, assess and manage one’s own emotions and those of others.

This ability is like any other – it is naturally found in varying degrees from person to person. However emotional intelligence can be increased exponentially through specialized programs.

“This program has built up my self-confidence and optimism. I have started to think and act a lot more in using EI. We have stressful situations in my business unit and this has helped me to take my company through the hard times.”-Erik A.

“It has – against all my own odds – made me human.”-Ragnar U

“At first, the skeptic within me challenged these (EQi) results. However, reading through and discussing these ‘deficiencies’ put into words some of the issues in my life which have been nagging me for years. All of them bear significantly on my general sense of well being, my opinion of myself and my job, and my performance on the job.”-Peter F.

“Thanks for helping me change my life.”-Tom W.

“I think we have saved a couple of valuable employees for the company, but more importantly their home and personal lives as well. Well done my friend.”-Jon H.

“All the other books I read and speakers I listened to had terrific information and got me going in the right direction. For about 72 hours! The techniques and skills you teach us to use are lifelong. That’s the difference. Since attending the Total Leadership Program, all of my relationships have significantly improved, both professionally and personally.”-Ed L.
