What Is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional Intelligence is a type of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' emotions, and to discern and use the information to guide one's thinking and actions.

Five Elements of Emotional Intelligence are:

1. Self Awareness
2. Managing Emotions
3. Motivating Oneself
4. Empathy
5. Handling Relationships

Why it is Important? Because "Soft Skills" can actually produce "Hard Outcomes".

We Are UnLucky - 90 Days ..Unfair

I like the intro of this book. Hmm read this...

"THE PRESIDENT of the United States gets 100 days to prove himself; you get 90. The actions you take during your first three months in a new job will largely determine whether you succeed or fail. Transitions are periods of acute vulnerability, because you lack established working relationships and a detailed understanding of your new role. If ou fail to build momentum during your transition, you will face an uphill battle from that point forward.

Sounds interesting right. For further reading check it out at your nearby bookstore.

A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A, M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B.

My comments:

You get hired or fired not because of your excellent work and your qualifications (Ph.D, Degree or Diploma). Truth be told, it just someone in (the authority) like or dislike you. So play the office politic smartly.

How?

Follow these basic steps:

1. Learn the pinnacle
2. Who is connecting to whom?
3. Who is influencing to whom?
4. Who is the real in-charge (manager or nominal manager)
5. Pick a team (team A or team B)
6. Last but not least, learn how to play the game.

Thank you for reading this article. I just giving back to the nation.
