The learnable, measurable skills of emotional intelligence are key to performance, and now South African organisations have access to the tools that can turn the science into action.
A recent multi-year case study at FedEx Express found that increasing emotional intelligence is linked to performance: 72% of the programme participants experience very large increases in decision making; 60% in experience a better quality of life; and 58% show major improvements in Influence.
The “Emotional Intelligence for People-First Leadership” paper was published by Six Seconds, The Emotional Intelligence Network.
Now, EQ in Action has become the first preferred partner for bringing emotional intelligence to South Africa.
Jayne Morrison, the regional network director of Six Seconds in Middle East and Africa, comments: “I see South Africa’s business community on the verge of flourishing: Emotional intelligence is known here, but business leaders need a practical approach. EQ in Action will provide this missing link.”
Six Seconds, The Emotional Intelligence Network is a global network supporting people to create positive change by developing emotional intelligence. The not-for-profit organisation turns current science into practical tools and methods that partners, such as EQ in Action, can use to fuel performance.
The organisation’s vision is that, by 2039, 1-billion people will be practicing the skills of emotional intelligence.
