EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Emotional Intelligence (EQ/EI) describes

the capacity of a person to perceive, gauge
and manage the emotions of themselves and
others. If emotions are not managed properly,
they can become a stumbling block in personal
as well as professional relationships.
“For those in leadership positions, emotional
intelligence skills account for close to 90
percent of what distinguishes outstanding
leaders from those judged as average.”
COMPONENTS OF EI

• Self Awareness - the capacity to distinguish and understand your internal moods, emotions
and drivers.
• Self Management - the capacity to control or re-direct your inner emotions so that your
inner state doesn’t necessarily match your outer state and manage your outcomes in
emotionally charged situations.
• Social Awareness - the capacity to discern and connect with others’ emotions to handle
people according to their emotional reactions and to be aware of how you are perceived by
others.
• Relationship Management - the capacity to manage relationships and build networks,
including the ability to find common ground, engage others and build connections.
EI & WHOLE BRAIN
Emotionally intelligent leaders use their
whole brain and are driven by their
character and values rather than by the
whim of their emotions.
Often leaders are afraid of emotions and
want to run everything from logic only. True
leadership is engaging the whole brain.
When a leader is emotionally intelligent, he
or she is more likely to engage the entire
brain.

Numerous “brain parts”

3 Major parts of brain:

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Brain stem

Cerebrum is divided into 2

hemispheres

2 hemispheres are linked by a

bundle of nerve fibers through
Corpus Callosum

80 millions nerve cells (200

millions)

100 billion neurons at birth

THE BRAIN Lq1 60 Rq1 80
• Different people perceive and assimilate information differently
• What one might see as a glass half full, the other might see as half
empty
• This is because our brain is divided into Left (L) & Right (R)
hemisphere, which are further divided into 2 quadrants each.
• Each quadrant has its own specific traits and thus its own way of
processing information
• In our daily routine, we are driven by all 4 quadrants but have
dominance in only one of them. Our dominant quadrant is the one
that influences us the most whenever we make decisions, solve
problems,
• perform tasks and get along with others.

• We at Thousand Thoughts facilitate you in knowing your

dominant quadrant an learning your thinking preference of people in Lq 2 49 Rq2 85
your institution and subsequently increasing their effectiveness.
