THE BUSINESS CASE FOR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
The following 5 points build a case for how emotional intelligence contributes to the bottom line in any work situation.
1. Research by the center for Creative Leadership has found that the primary causes of derailment in executives involve deficits in emotional competence. The three primary ones are difficulty in handling change, not being able to work well in a team, and poor interpersonal relations.
2. An analysis of more than 300 top-level executives from fifteen global companies showed that six emotional competencies distinguished stars from the average: Influence, Team Leadership, Organizational Awareness, self-confidence, Achievement Drive, and Leadership (Spencer, L. M., Jr., 1997).
3. Experienced partners in a multinational consulting firm were assessed on the EI competencies plus three others. Partners who scored above the median on 9 or more of the 20 competencies delivered $1.2 million more profit from their accounts than did other partners – a 139 percent incremental gain (Boyatzis, 1999).
4. A study of 130 executives found that how well people handled their own emotions determined how much people around them preferred to deal with them (Walter V. Clarke Associates, 1997).
5. After supervisors in a manufacturing plant received training in emotional competencies such as how to listen better and help employees resolve problems on their own, lost-time accidents were reduced by 50 percent, formal grievances were reduced from an average of 15 per year to 3 per year, and the plant exceeded productivity goals by $250,000 (Pesuric & Byham, 1996). In another manufacturing plant where supervisors received similar training, production increased 17 percent. There was no such increase in production for a group of matched supervisors who were not trained (Porras & Anderson, 1981).

REINVENTING YOURSELF IN 2006
CAREER TRENDS
Did you know that Paul Gaugin quit his career as a stockbroker and fled to Tahiti to become a painter?
Feeling unsatisfied in your work? Is it time for you to change careers?
Check out the new career as defined by researchers Michael Arthur and Douglas Hall:
Summarized by the following CAREER TRENDS:
- Mobility: Greater frequency of career moves across employers and careers
- Reputations built from the outside in: Validation and marketability derived more and more from peoples' reputation outside their employer firm
- Create-your-own career paths: Disappearance of external guides for sequences of work experiences and traditional corporate career planning; emergence of internal, self-generated guides; rise of portfolio and project careers
- Pursuit of meaning: Enterprise viewed as a path to the expression of deeply held identities and values
- Balance and flexibility: Boundaries between work and non-work life blur; personal and family reasons play more important roles that before in choices and decisions
Changing careers is NOT merely a matter of changing the work we do. It means rethinking our working identity (H. Ibarra). It is as much about changing the relationships that matter in our professional lives. It is about finding people who can help us grow into our new selves, people we admire. All reinventions require support.
LPC Associates has worked with hundreds of individuals in career transitions. We use unconventional and conventional approaches with the support of an objective professional to help you rethink your working identity.
