The Emotional Intelligence Redesign
Our unequivocal business imperative.
27% of leaders consider EQ the most essential skill heading into The Age of AI.
Teams led by managers with high EQ outperform yearly earning goals by 20%.
Employees are 4x less likely to resign with a high EQ manager.
EQ accounts for 90% of what sets high performers apart.
High EQ teams create higher customer loyalty, experience, and advocacy.
Clear business value.
Amidst the frenzied race to embed The Age of AI into every business process, the over reliance on technology in hybrid work to maintain human connection, and the rise of social movements seeking to redefine fundamental, cultural, understandings, teams are breaking.
A critical lack of EQ in teaming is a resounding diagnosis echoed by employees throughout the corporate hierarchy as to why.
If EQ is so important though, why then do we have so little of it? And how could we let it get this far as to impact business so severely?
More important than ever.
The Business Impact of Imprecision.
For years, industry has minimized workplace EQ down to empathy, self-awareness, and emotion recognition. In doing so, companies have created a logical dissonance between what they are actively optimizing for in hiring & training programs, and what business value they are actually trying to tap into.
Industry professionals know that the business value of a high EQ leader who can dispel all customer hesitancy, foster team cohesion in hybrid environments, or execute a seamless re-organization is not due simply to his/her empathetic ear.
As a result, few employees possess true EQ; the business impact is wide ranging:
Leaders are unprepared to respond to the demands of today’s unique corporate context.
Teams miss their targets.
Customers disengage.
Employees leave.
A Full Workplace Redesign is Needed to Fix This.
If we strive for high functioning, long lasting, fulfilled teams, we must fundamentally redesign every aspect of the workplace around how interpersonal relationships are created & shaped by true HighEQers.
A workplace designed to optimize relationship building (instead of the transactional exchange of information and emotion between employees, as we so often see today) will necessarily challenge many corporate traditions & norms along the way, but it is our obligation to every employee to do so.
The implications of this are wide ranging and require close collaboration between HR (spanning its various branches of Talent Management, Leadership Development, Learning, Culture, Performance Management etc), IT, and the digital workplace platform industry to realize.
If we level set our understanding of workplace EQ and subsequently build all of our surrounding processes, norms, and tooling in acknowledgement and enablement of its core principles, our workplaces will achieve the level of resiliency they need to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
