Comparisons

Turns people off vs. Turns people on Self-centered vs. Helpful Disliked vs. Liked

Example

Alistair droned on, turningrepparttar presentation into a pedantic ego-trip, showing off how much he knew. He argued points that were strictly academic torepparttar 130237 poor people trying to understandrepparttar 130238 theory of Emotional Intelligence and use it in real time. The HR Director watchedrepparttar 130239 participants eyes glaze over and knew she had just wastedrepparttar 130240 company’s valuable time and money, and probably turnedrepparttar 130241 employees off torepparttar 130242 idea of Emotional Intelligence as well.

Graciella, onrepparttar 130243 other hand, was a coach who was clearly erudite and really knew her stuff. She was able to engagerepparttar 130244 group and excite them aboutrepparttar 130245 practical possibilities of applying emotional intelligence to their work culture. They hung on her every word -- and most of her words were one-syllable! The HR Director knew they would leaverepparttar 130246 meeting with a clear understanding ofrepparttar 130247 major points, and enthusiasm for applying what they’d learned. Key Point

It's okay to know a lot, in fact it's a good thing and makes you a valuable employee, partner, and person, but only if you use it in conjunction with your Emotional Intelligence. If you are arrogant about it, or unable to express your valuable knowledge in a way that engages other people, it won't matter what you know. No one will be listening. (EQ matters more than IQ.) It’s okay to know a lot. It’s not okay to be a know-it-all.

Benefits

Better communication and teamwork.
