"Talking Heads and Hearts"

Emotional intelligence, according to Daniel Goleman, is how we handle ourselves and our relationships. In his discussion at Google, Goleman discussed emotional intelligence and its relationship to IQ.

When talking about EI vs. IQ, Goleman uses a competence model that explains how emotional intelligence relates to job success. The facets of this competence model are:

1) The singular drive to achieve

2) Impact or influence - persuasive arguments, debates, etc...

3) Conceptual thinking - pattern recognition, problem solving, etc...

4) Analysis - drawing logical conclusions

5) Taking on challenges

and finally 6) Self-confidence

Goleman stresses that IQ alone is not enough for you to be successful in your job; you must also have the emotional intelligence traits from the competence model.
